FISH EN PAPPILLOTE
Ingredients-Serves 4

1-1/2 lb. striped bass, salmon or swordfish

4 cups fresh spinach, washed, dried, and stems removed

2 leeks, white part only, julienne

2 tbsp. Chopped fresh herbs, like dill, chives, or basil

 

2 carrots, julienne

1 turnip or large parsnip, julienne

4 tsp. butter

1/2 cup clam broth

salt and pepper

4-12-by 24 inch rectangles of aluminum foil

     

Cut fish into broad, quarter-inch-thick escalopes and season liberally with salt and pepper. Cook vegetables separately in broiling salted water. Do not overcook. Preheat the oven to 400¡F. Chop spinach coarsely and make hand-size piles in the center half of each foil rectangle. Place fish on spinach and top with vegetables, herbs, seasonings, and a pat of butter. Fold the outer half of the foil over the fish and seal the remaining edge. The resulting foil bag should be at least 2 inches larger on all sided than the fish. Bake the pappillotes for 10 to 12 minutes.
