You’ve got to love when your daughter and her boyfriend come to town for the weekend and he spends the morning out fishing! Ahhhh, I love these fresh caught benefits!! They head out fishing in hopes of catching a boatful of salmon, but the salmon seemed to escape their bait. However, the Ling Cod, were not as smart! All four fisherman caught their limit!! Thank you very much!

Cod & Asparagus en Papillote

My first thought was to make fish tacos, but being that I seem to make tacos quite often, I decided to mix it up a little. And, as it turned out, I had everything I needed to put together this quick and easy dinner. It may sound fancy with a name like “en papillote,” but all it really means is “in parchment.”

When I say easy, I mean it. It was about a 10 minute prep and 15-20 to cook. Easy breezy and dinner is served!

Start by cutting your fish filets into equal sizes (so they’ll cook in the same amount of time). Lay out your parchment, add your ingredients, wrap, and cook. It’s truly that easy!

When the fish was cooking, I quickly cooked up a TJ’s brown rice (I cheated and didn’t make homemade rice). There are certain shortcuts that I don’t mind taking, and Trader Joe’s Brown Rice packets are one of them.

    I tried this recipe for the first time last night. It was definitely a winner with both my husband and myself. Our cod fillets were quite thick, and so the 20 minutes were exactly right for us. Thanks for this recipe! I’ll definitely be using it repeatedly!

    A few remarked how good this is but apparently nobody noticed there’s no indication of where the lime is used … ?
