Grilled Barramundi in Parchment with Cherry Tomatoes and Corn
Serves: 4
Prep Time: 30
Cook Time: 10
Ingredients
-
1/2 pound red new potatoes, very thinly sliced
-
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
-
sea salt and freshly ground pepper
-
2 cups cherry tomatoes, destemmed
-
1 cup corn kernels, cut off cobb
-
1/4 cup sliced scallions
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 tablespoons basil, cut into a chiffonade
-
1/4 cup dry white wine
-
4 4-ounce white fish fillets, like barramundi, tilapia or catfish
Preparation
-
Preheat grill to medium heat.
-
Cut four 14-inch by 14-inch squares of parchment paper.
-
With each one, fold in half and cut into a wide heart shape. Then unfold and lay flat.
-
In a medium bowl, mix together potatoes with half the olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
-
Arrange a quarter of the potatoes on one half of each of the parchment paper hearts, leaving a one inch border around the edge.
-
Place a piece of fish on top of each. In the same bowl, mix tomatoes, corn, scallions, garlic, basil, remaining olive oil and salt and pepper.
-
Divide tomato and corn mixture to top each fish and drizzle a tablespoon of wine over each.
-
Then fold over the empty half and crimp the edges.
-
Beginning at the top of the heart, roll the edges up and tightly over onto themselves and twist the end so that the packet is securely sealed.
-
Lay finished packets on a rimless cutting board, a peel, or on the back of a cookie sheet.
-
Using a wide spatula, carefully transfer sealed packets onto the grill grates and cook for 10 minutes (they should be puffed and golden brown).
-
Again using the spatula, transfer the packets to individual plates.
-
Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice open packets (or have diners do it themselves) and serve.
