Wild Alaska Pollock en Papillote with Chimichurri Sauce

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (4-ounce) Wild Alaska Pollock fillets 
  • 6 to 8 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced
  • ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
  • 1 lime, cut in half (slice one half into 4 pieces, leave other half intact)
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
  • 1 cup fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Place 4 pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 12” x 17”) on counter. Spray lightly with nonstick spray.
  2. Place a fillet of Wild Alaska Pollock in center of each foil square. Evenly distribute tomatoes and zucchini slices around fish. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over fish and vegetables. Sprinkle each fillet with salt and pepper and top with a lime slice. Seal packets, folding in long ends first then crimping the short ends, to ensure no steam escapes.
  3. Place packets on baking sheet. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until fish is thoroughly cooked through.
  4. While fish is baking, make chimichurri sauce. In a food processor or blender, combine basil, parsley, ¼ cup olive oil, juice from other half of lime, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and vinegar. Process until sauce is well-combined and chunky. (If too thick, add more olive oil 1 teaspoon at a time until desired consistency.)
  5. When fish is finished cooking, carefully open packets (steam will be hot!). Brush fillets with chimichurri sauce and serve immediately.
