Fish with Blood Orange and Thyme
Description
Fish with Blood Orange and Thyme prepares white fish filets by layering them over overlapping slices of blood orange and fresh thyme on parchment paper. The fish is seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and olive oil before being sealed in a pouch and baked at 400°F. This method steams the fish, preserving moisture and absorbing the subtle bittersweet flavor of blood oranges as well as the herbal hints of thyme.
The fish emerges tender and flavorful, enhanced by the aromatic citrus and fresh herb. The cooking in parchment ensures even heat and a delicate texture without drying out.
Serve immediately to appreciate the fresh, bright flavors. Removing the cooked thyme sprigs is optional depending on preference. This dish suits a light meal paired nicely with simple vegetables or a salad.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces white fish I used two 6-ounce trout filets, filets
- 2 blood oranges
- 2 prigs thyme
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil I used blood orange olive oil
Instructions
- Set oven to 400°F.
- Use a mandoline slicer to slice your oranges into 1/8 inch slices. Remove any seeds.
- Arrange the slices in the middle of two large sheets of parchment paper. Overlap them out so they are about the size of your fish fillet. Top the oranges with fresh sprigs of thyme.
- Lay the fish on top of the thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle liberally with olive oil.
- Bring the two long sides of paper up around the fish and roll or fold to secure. Do the same with each end.
- Lay the packets on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes. The fish will be steamed perfectly. If you are using thick pieces of fish you may want to check that it is done to your liking.
- Serve immediately sprinkled with some fresh thyme. Remove the cooked thyme if you like.
