Servings: 4

INGREDIENTS

1 lb cod loin, cut into 4 portions

1 teaspoon McCormick Gourmet Smoked paprika 

¼ teaspoon McCormick Gourmet cayenne

¼ teaspoon McCormick Gourmet turmeric

¼ teaspoon McCormick Gourmet dill weed

¼ teaspoon McCormick Gourmet garlic powder

¼ teaspoon McCormick Gourmet onion powder

2 tablespoon olive oil 

1 carrot, julienned 

1 zucchini, julienned 

1 red pepper, julienned 

½ leek, julienned 

4 tablespoon butter, divided

½ cup white wine, divided

PREPARATION

1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the McCormick Gourmet smoked paprika, cayenne, turmeric, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, and olive oil. Using a pastry brush, spread the spice mixture evenly onto each piece of fish. Season with salt and set aside. 

2. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Next, take a large sheet of parchment paper (at least 24” long) and fold in half. Cut into a large “heart” shape, then unfold to open. Repeat to make 4 parcels. Evenly divide the julienned vegetables in each parcel, by placing them in the middle along the folded seam. Next, top with spiced cod, followed by a tablespoon of butter and 2 tablespoons of white wine. Fold over each parcel and fold well to seal. 

3. Transfer each to a baking sheet and place in the oven for 10 - 12 minutes. When done, remove and cut open to reveal steamed fish and vegetables. Serve with a side of yellow turmeric rice and a squeeze of fresh lime!
