Tilapia en Papillote: via Julip Made!

Hi all, Julie from Julip Made taking over for Lara while she starts one of the most exciting new chapters in her life.  Today I'm sharing with you one of my favorite healthy, and easy dinner's for two... Tilapia en papillote with lemon, thyme, roasted garlic and cherry tomatoes.  En papillote means cooking in a pouch, typically made from parchment paper, in which the fish steams inside in either its own juices or additional white wine/ lemon. Cooking en papillote is in my mind, one of the best ways to cook delicate fish, such as tilapia.  It really enhances any aromatics you add, it requires little to no additional fat, and can really build flavor with an otherwise flavorless fish.

Tilapia en papillote Ingredients:

  • 2 Tilapia fillets
  • 8 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 lemons, 1 sliced thinly the other juiced
  • handful of Thyme sprigs 
  • 2 tablespoons white wine
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 6 garlic cloves, half with skin on, half sliced
  • salt and pepper to taste
