ingredients
Baked Swordish
- 8 thin slices fresh lemon
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
- To Taste kosher salt
- To Taste fresh ground black pepper
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Step 2
Tear off 4 pieces of foil or parchment paper, each about 16 to 18 inches or long enough to wrap around fish steaks. Brush foil (if using) with olive oil.
Step 3
Fold one piece of parchment paper/foil in half horizontally. Place 1 fish steak in the center of each piece of foil/paper; drizzle with a spoonful or two of the marinade. Season with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Repeat with remaining steaks.
Step 4
Place 2 lemon slices on top of each fillet; top with 1 rosemary sprig. Fold the empty side up over the top of the fish; starting at one end (by the fold), wrap the paper/foil inward to seal.
Step 5
Place packets in one layer on a large baking sheet. Bake about 15 minutes (10 minutes per 1-inch of thickness, plus an additional 5 minutes).
Step 6
Remove fish from the oven. Carefully open packets (steam will be hot) and remove fish. Place all steaks on on a serving platter or individual steaks on 4 dinner plates. Spoon any sauce in the packets over the top.
Step 7
(Note: Prep time includes 30 minutes marinating time.)
