Discover the joy of restaurant-quality fish at home with this elegant, foolproof parchment packet. Fresh, flaky fish infused with lemon, thyme, and briny olives ready in under 30 minutes!

Ingredients for one serving:

8 ounces boneless fish fillet, such as snapper or cod
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon quality olive oil
1 large sprig of fresh thyme
2 large green Cerignola olives with pits
1 extra-large egg

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400F (200C).
Place the fish fillet on a sheet of parchment paper. Season evenly with salt and pepper. Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil. Top with thyme sprig and arrange olives alongside.
Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water for an egg wash. Brush around the parchment edges, fold in half, and crimp securely to seal the packet like a gift.
Bake on a sheet pan for 12-15 minutes until the fish flakes easily. Serve straight from the parchment for a dramatic, steam-released presentation that wows every time.
