Friendly Fish In A Sleeping Bag
Ingredients:
– 4 fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 small onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup frozen peas
– 1 cup carrots, diced
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
– 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent.
3. Add the diced carrots to the skillet and cook for a few minutes until they begin to soften.
4. Stir in the cherry tomatoes and frozen peas, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
5. Pour in the heavy cream and season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the cream to simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
6. Place the fish fillets on top of the vegetable mixture in the skillet, gently pressing them into the cream sauce.
7. Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to form a rectangle large enough to cover the skillet.
8. Carefully place the puff pastry over the fish and vegetable filling, tucking the edges inside the skillet to seal the “sleeping bag.”
9. Brush the puff pastry with the beaten egg to create a golden, shiny finish.
10. Using a sharp knife, make a few slits on the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape while baking.
11. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
12. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve your Friendly Fish In A Sleeping Bag hot, straight from the skillet, for a cozy and elegant meal that will delight your taste buds and warm your soul. Enjoy the flaky pastry, tender fish, and creamy vegetable filling that come together beautifully in this dish.
