Steaming the ingredients together in a neat parchment packet creates layers of flavor without adding much fat or salt. And with everything contained, cleanup is a breeze!

Ingredients
- 8 ounces cherry tomatoes, quartered (about 2 cups)
- 2 teaspoons capers, rinsed and roughly chopped
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon juice
- 2 teaspoons minced shallot
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (thawed if frozen)
- 8 ounces thin green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces on the bias
- 4 skinless cod fillets (6 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 2 tablespoons dry white wine
Instructions
- Position 2 racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
- Combine the tomatoes, capers, 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, lemon zest and juice, shallot, basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl. Set aside to let the flavors develop.
- Cut four 16-inch long sheets of parchment paper. Fold each sheet in half and open it like a book. Divide the pieces of parchment between 2 baking sheets (2 pieces per sheet).
- Toss the corn and green beans with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper in a bowl. Divide between the 4 parchment sheets, mounding the mixture on one side of the fold. Sprinkle each cod fillet with 1/4 teaspoon salt and place on top of a vegetable mound. Dot with butter and drizzle with wine.
- Fold over the top half of the parchment, crimping and overlapping small folds along the open edge to seal tightly. Bake until the parchment puffs, about 15 minutes; the fish will be tender and cooked through. Transfer the packs to plates. Avoiding the hot steam, carefully cut open the pack. Spoon the reserved tomato-basil salsa with juices over each fillet and serve immediately.

Reviews
I made this recipe last night for dinner. We made it with Halibut because that looked like the most fresh fish at our market. My husband and I thought it was fabulous!
We really like the green bean and corn vegetable and the tomato & basil relish was delicious!
Great plate presentation and we highly recommend.

Fabulous! The fish was perfectly cooked. I didn’t care for the green beans but like others said change the vegetable to whatever you like. No one asked for the tartar sauce. That’s a win in itself at our house. My new way to cook fish!
I followed the recipe exactly as written and it was DELICIOUS!!! My family was raving about it!
Excellent! Easy, delicious, filling, and a beautiful presentation to boot. What more could you ask for? Don’t care for these particular veggies? Swap them out with whatever works for you – just make sure everything is cut to the same small size or par boil if needed (e.g. potatoes) so everything cooks within that 15-20 minute window.
A GREAT recipe. I have made this several times and it always turns out wonderful. I added thinly sliced potatoes the last time and it was really good. I highly recommend this one. Its easy to make and everyone loves it!!!!
I have made this several times no it is delicious! I have dietary restrictions and just make mine with green beans and it is still great. My favorite cod recipe,
A family favorite. Really fun and easy to make. Yum!
Delicious! I didn’t have capers so I used kalamata olives. It’s definitely on my “make again” list.
Really good! The salsa is delicious. I didn’t have capers or green beans (subbed zucchini) and it still was quite delicious!!
So incredible in so many ways. The flavors blend together that create a wow factor that will not be forgotten. Also, it was easy to assemble, quick to cook and a snap to clean up. Love it!
