A clever method of cooking fishâ€”the waxed paper seals in the moisture as the fish bakes, producing a tender, flavorful fillet, especially when cooked on a bed of pasta and topped with this zesty tomato sauce.

Baked Cod in Waxed Paper Recipe (+)

Directions

Heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan or dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the red onion, red pepper, garlic, oregano, parsley and capers.
SautÃ© for 10-15 minutes.
Add canned tomatoes, lemon juice and red pepper flakes.
Stir and simmer over medium low heat for 10 minutes and then remove it from the heat.
Cook pasta according to package directions and then drain.
Place in a medium bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
Tear off 4 pieces of waxed paper to be 14 inches long.
Fold each sheet in half.
Cut an 8 or 9 inch circle, leaving the folded side intact. Open up the sheets.
On one of the circles, place a small amount of pasta.
Top with a spoonful of the tomato sauce and then a fish fillet. Top that with another spoonful of tomato sauce.
Season with salt and pepper.
You may also sprinkle a little parmesan cheese on top of the sauce.
Fold the other circle over the top.
Go around the edge and fold it over 2 or 3 times to seal.
Place on a baking sheet and repeat with the rest of the fillets.
Bake in a 350Â°F oven for 12-15 minutes.
Note: You will have sauce left over but it can be used as any pasta sauce would be used. The sauce makes approximately 4 cups.
