Baked Fish in Foil

Description:
Found this recipe in a Cook magazine and saw it in one of those cooking shows in TV. The recipe says to use cod, halibut or snapper. I wasn't sure what the local names of these fishes were and thought maybe the parrot fish (mul mul) would suffice. It didn't come out as I expected it but Mier said it was yummy in itself so I can't argue with that anymore (Hahaha!). I will have to look for cod (ginadara or pina pina here) and do this recipe again with a different fish. But I would agree that it turned out pretty well too. :-)

Ingredients:
fish fillet
salt and pepper
1 1/4 tsps lemon zest
1 tsp thyme
4 tbsps butter, softened
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tbsps minced fresh parsley leaves
carrots peeled and cut into matchsticks
leeks halved lengthwise and cut into matchsticks
foil cut into 12 inch sheets

Directions:
1. Combine butter, 1/4 lemon zest, 1 tsp garlic, thyme, salt and pepper in small bowl.

2. Combine parsley, remaining tsp lemon zest and remaining garlic in another small bowl.

3. Place carrots and leeks in medium bowl and season with salt and pepper.

4. I made 2 foil pockets dividing the ingredients into 2. To assemble: Place carrots and leeks on center of foil. Season fish fillet with salt and pepper and put on top of vegetable mound. Spread butter mixture on top. Place second foil on top and crimp edges together in 1/2 inch fold creating a packet.

5. Put packets on baking dish and put in heated oven for 15 minutes or less. After baking, carefully open foil, allowing steam to escape. Sprinkle with parsley mixture and some lemon juice. Serve immediately. :-)
