Catfish en Papillote

Fish doesn't get easier than this.

Buy filets of your favorite fish. Make sure there are no bones in them. Arrange one filet, a handful each of three or four vegetables, salt, pepper, a few tablespoons of chicken stock, and a tablespoon of dry vermouth or white wine on a piece of aluminum foil. Fold up the foil into a packet, making sure all the ends are upturned but leaving a small hole on one side for steam to escape. Steam in a 375 degree preheated oven for 20 minutes for a large filet.
Good vegetables to use are tomatoes, zucchini, green onions, yellow or white onions, potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms. For an Asian twist, use soy sauce and ginger instead of white wine and chicken stock. You can slice your vegetables into paper thin disks, slivers, or both. Whatever tickles your fancy. Just make sure you put the harder to cook items (potatoes) close to or even under the fish for maximum cooking.
