Baking in parchment (en papillote) allows the fish to steam while it cooks, creating a super-moist and flavour-infused dish. Tucking the beans in along with the fish makes this an all-in-one meal.

Ingredients 4 frozen fish fillets , such as cod, about 1 lb parchment paper 1/2 lb green beans , trimmed 1/4 cup dry white wine , optional 2 green onions , thinly sliced 1 tsp dried thyme, tarragon or Italian seasoning Instructions Preheat oven to 450°F. Tear 4 pieces of parchment, each about 12 x 16 in. Place a fish fillet on each. Scatter green beans around fish. Drizzle with white wine, if using (if not, no other liquid is necessary). Sprinkle with herbs and green onions. Fold and crimp parchment edges together to seal. Place on a baking sheet. Bake in the centre of preheated oven until thinnest part of the fish flakes easily and the green beans are tender, 18-22 minutes. Serve each package on a plate; be careful when opening, as the steam will be very hot. Top each fillet with a pat of butter and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if you like.
