Recipe

Degree of Difficulty: Extremely Easy

 

Items Needed:

  • Sheets of aluminum foil or parchment paper
  • Knife and cutting board for cutting vegetables

 

Ingredients:  All ingredients are optional and are just suggestions. Use whatever you can readily find in your refrigerator or at the grocery.

  • Catfish fillets, I prefer 3 to 5 or 5 to 7-ounce fillets
  • Broccoli florets
  • Cauliflower florets
  • Asparagus
  • Carrot slices
  • Scallions
  • Onions
  • Shallots
  • Green Beans
  • Tomatoes
  • Squash, cubed
  • Zucchini, cubed
  • Sweet Potatoes, par-cooked or blanched, thinly sliced or in small cubes
  • Red Potatoes, par-cooked or blanched, thinly sliced or in small cubes
  • Quinoa
  • Brown Rice (par-cooked)
  • White wine or cooking sherry
  • Butter
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste
  • Garlic

Instructions:

  • Prepare all of your ingredients.
  • Layout a piece of aluminum foil or parchment paper approximately 12”x12” square
  • Place ingredients in the center of the square, making sure not to add too many.
  • Place the catfish fillet on top of the ingredients, and season to taste with salt and pepper or your favorite seasoning
  • Add wine, cooking sherry, butter
  • Fold up the sides of the foil or parchment paper and crimp the edges together, making sure that there are no openings (review on the video)
  • Bake in a 375-degree preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes
  • Be careful when opening the wrapper because of all of the steam that will build up on the inside. I usually slice the wrapper open with a knife and peel it back to expose the contents
