Bream In A Package - {Orata Al Cartoccio}

Recipe Ingredients

2		Sheets parchment - (18" by 14" ea)
2		Orata, sea bream, or porgy - - (2 to 3 lbs ea),
		Cleaned, gutted, and left whole
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
4		Garlic cloves - thinly sliced
1 teaspoon	5ml	Red chile flakes
1/2		Thyme leaves
4 tablespoons	60ml	Extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons	30ml	Freshly-squeezed lemon juice
		Lemon wedges - for garnish
1/4 cup	59ml	Dry white wine
1		Egg white - beaten
1/4 cup	59ml	Extra-virgin olive oil

Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Fold both sheets of parchment paper in half, making them large enough to hold the fish with a few inches of margin, when folded in half like a book. Aggressively season the fish inside and out with salt and pepper.

Place 1 fish inside of each "book". Sprinkle each fish with the garlic slices, chile flakes, thyme leaves, olive oil, lemon juice, and wine. Seal the edges of the parchment together with the egg white and fold to form a closed compartment.

Place the packages on a sheet tray and bake in the oven 20 minutes. Remove, slash the package to release steam and serve immediately, 1 fish for 2 servings. Drizzle with good oil and serve with lemon wedges.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
