1
Put a baking pan in the oven and preheat it to 400F.
-
2
Take 8 sheets of aluminum foil, each about 18 inches long, and place one piece on top of the other (you will make 4 packages).
-
3
Rub the fish with some of the olive oil; it should be nice and moist.
-
4
Season it with salt and pepper and put it on a piece of the foil.
-
5
Sprinkle with garlic and parsley and fold the foil onto itself, crimping the edges as tightly as possible.
-
6
Repeat the process.
-
7
(You can refrigerate the packages until youre ready to cook, no more than 6 hours later.)
-
8
Put the packages in the baking dish and bake for about 15 minutes (or about 8 minutes from the time it starts sizzling).
-
9
Let sit for a couple of minutes before carefully slitting open the packages.
-
10
Then spoon out the fish and serve with the lemon.
-
11
Add any or all of the following to each of the packages: 1 seeded and diced plum tomato, a few black olives, some capers, some very thinly sliced potato or onion.
-
12
You dont need to make packages to produce the same flavor: Use either the original recipe or the variation and place the fish and other ingredients in a covered baking dish (Corning Ware is ideal for this).
-
13
Bake at 350F to 400F until the fish is cooked through (the fish is done when the point of a thin-bladed knife inserted into the thickest part meets little resistance), 10 to 15 minutes.
