Clean Rain-Pressed Lemon–Herb Fish en Papillote
"Create a minimal-mess weeknight main called Clean Rain-Pressed Lemon–Herb Fish en Papillote with Cucumber ‘Raindrop’ Salad & Steamed Rice, inspired by Taylor Swift’s ‘Clean.’ Vibe: storm breaks, windows open, crisp air—clear flavors, no clutter.Core (fish packets): 4 white-fish fillets (cod, haddock, tilapia—~5–6 oz each), 1 small zucchini (thin rounds), 1 small fennel bulb or red onion (paper-thin slices), 1 lemon (zest + thin slices), 2 Tbsp capers (optional ‘raindrops’), handful fresh dill/parsley, 2–3 Tbsp olive oil, salt/pepper; splash white wine or water for steam.Cucumber ‘raindrop’ salad: 1 English cucumber (thin half-moons), 2 Tbsp lemon juice, 1 Tbsp olive oil, pinch salt, black pepper, chopped dill/parsley.Side: hot steamed rice or quinoa.Method: Heat oven to 425°F. Cut 4 large heart-shaped sheets of parchment. On one side of each, layer zucchini + fennel/onion; set a fish fillet on top; season well; add lemon zest, 1–2 lemon slices, capers (if using), herbs, and a light drizzle of olive oil. Add 1 Tbsp wine or water per packet. Fold parchment over, crimp edges tight to seal. Bake on a sheet 12–15 min (thicker cod closer to 15) until fish flakes easily.Salad: toss cucumber with lemon juice, oil, salt/pepper, and herbs; chill 5 minutes.Serve: place packets on plates; let each person tear open the ‘cloud’ of parchment; spoon over the light juices. Add rice and a mound of cucumber salad; extra lemon wedges.Include: yield 4; total time ~30 minutes; exact ingredient amounts; step-by-step sealing cues (tight crimp = steam), doneness cues (flakes/145°F), and cleanup note (parchment = spotless).Swaps: salmon or trout (add 2–3 min); DF/GF by default; no-fennel option (use more zucchini or thin carrot ribbons); briny-free (skip capers); vegetarian: firm tofu planks or canned chickpeas in the packet (same method).Plating: open white parchment ‘clouds,’ pale fish with lemon and green herb freckles, cool cucumber ‘raindrops,’ and clean white rice—fresh start, home-kitchen easy.”"
