Ingredients

Servings:2
  • 2 pieces Sea bass fillets (6 oz each)
  • 1 large Leek, white and light green parts thinly sliced
  • 1 medium Carrot, julienned
  • 1/4 cup Dry white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 4 stems Fresh thyme sprigs
  • 1 half Lemon, thinly sliced into rounds
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F) and prepare two large squares of parchment paper, approximately 12x15 inches each.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, toss the sliced leeks and julienned carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Fold each parchment sheet in half to create a crease, then open it back up and place half of the vegetable mixture on one side of the crease.

  4. 4

    Season the sea bass fillets with salt and pepper, then place one fillet on top of each vegetable bed.

  5. 5

    Top each fish fillet with two lemon slices, two sprigs of thyme, and a tablespoon of cubed butter.

  6. 6

    Fold the parchment over the fish and begin crimping the edges tightly in small, overlapping folds to create a sealed half-moon pouch.

  7. 7

    Before sealing the final inch of the pouch, carefully pour half of the white wine into each parcel, then immediately finish crimping to trap the liquid.

  8. 8

    Place the parcels on the grill grates, close the lid, and cook for 10-12 minutes until the parchment puffs up significantly and turns golden brown.
