Below is a list of recommended ingredients, but it needs to be interpreted in full. So even better if you can get fresh ingredients from a local fishmonger or vegetable stall. On the other hand, this recipe is a great solution if you are simply stacking frozen goods in the freezer. Both fresh and frozen ingredients add fascinating aromas and flavors that permeate the air as soon as you cut open the pouches.

What kind of fish should you use?

The possibilities in choosing the fish for our parchment-baked fish and vegetables are endless. Ultimately, it really depends on your taste preferences.

For something on the mild and tender side of the spectrum, check out branzini, red snapper, or sea bass. On the flip side, if you’re craving a richer, bolder fish, salmon or tuna steak works well. Mixed with juicy vegetables and tasty spices, almost any fish of choice in this meal will taste amazing!

When it comes to shrimp, this main ingredient adds a tender, juicy texture that goes perfectly with fish and vegetables. For a thick, meaty texture, consider using extra large or giant shrimp.

Here’s how to put this delicious recipe together

We love this recipe because it’s so easy to conjure up and requires minimal cleaning. Here, parchment wraps act as a “cooking pan” for this delicious fish dish. Simply cut four large pieces of parchment paper, with the longest sides measuring about 20 inches. Then mix the fish, mussels, prawns, vegetables, lemon and spices in a large bowl. Distribute your prepared ingredients evenly over the four pieces of parchment and drizzle a little olive oil and white wine over each section. Finally, add salt and pepper to taste, close each bag with a string and put the babies in the oven. Voila: Dinner is served!

The right wine to go with your meal

This rich dish requires a dry white wine, preferably with notes of fruit and plants. In this case, Gewürzaminer, Pinot Grigio, Verdicchio and Vermentino go together incredibly well.
