Ingredients
4 red snapper filets - (5 oz ea), scaled
Salt, (optional)
Freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium fennel bulb - (abt 6 oz), trimmed, and
sliced into julienne strips
2 leeks, white part only, cleaned, and
sliced into julienne strips
1 small zucchini - (3 oz), sliced julienne
strips
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp crushed fennel seed, (optional)
2 small Roma tomatoes - (6 oz total), peeled, and
sliced into julienne strips
Lemon slices for garnish, (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut 4 pieces of parchment baking paper or
double thickness aluminum foil into 12- by 15-inch rectangles. Fold in
half from the short end and cut out a large heart shape along the fold,
like a valentine. When unfolded the heart should measure about 14 inches
wide and 12 inches long.
Rinse the red snapper filets; pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt
(if using) and pepper to taste. Unfold the heart and lay a piece of
snapper on the long side of each heart.
Arrange the vegetables over the pieces of fish in a decorative pattern.
Drizzle some of the olive oil over each.
Fold the heart over to enclose the fish and crimp the edges neatly to seal
completely. Transfer fish packets on a large baking sheet and bake for 20
minutes, until parchment is puffed and browned and fish is opaque and
flakes easily. Serve the closed packages at once, allowing each person to
open their own packet at the table.
