TOTAL TIME: 30 minutes
SERVES: 4
Ingredients
4 (5-ounce) Arctic char or salmon fillets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
3½ lemons
1½ pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled
4 cloves garlic, 2 smashed and 2 grated
4 sprigs thyme
6 scallions, white and light green portions, thinly sliced
½ cup chopped dill fronds
½ cup chopped parsley leaves
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and roughly chopped
1 teaspoon honey
4 anchovy fillets, minced (optional)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Arrange four 6-by-6-inch squares of foil on a work surface. Pat fillets dry and place one, skin-side down, in the center of each square. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Zest 2 lemons, setting zest aside, then slice zested lemons into paper-thin rounds. Shingle lemon slices over fillets. Fold foil up over fillets, seal into parcels, and set on a baking sheet. Roast on center rack until fish is just cooked through, 15-20 minutes. Read More…
