Main meal
Halibut in parchment with lemon and thyme
The parcel traps the steam so the fish poaches in its own liquid, which is close to foolproof on the one fish that punishes overcooking hardest.

Method
6 steps · 35 minutes
- Cut parchment circles about twice the width of the fish. Foil works but conducts heat and browns the underside, which defeats the method.
- Lay the zucchini down first as a raft, so the fish sits above the liquid rather than in it.
- Fish on top, then butter, lemon slices, thyme and the wine.
- Fold the edge over in small overlapping pleats all the way round and press the last one under. A parcel that leaks steams the oven instead of the fish.
- Fifteen minutes at 400F. The parcel should balloon, which is how you know it sealed.
- Open them at the table and let the steam out there. Cut in the kitchen, the smell that is half the dish is gone before anyone sits down.
