Flounder with Corn and Tomatoes

Getting reviews...
Light and fresh, this summery main dish centers around chunks of tender, flaky fish wrapped up with sweet corn and rich, chewy sun-dried tomatoes. The classic technique of wrapping the fish in parchment paper gently steams it, resulting in a healthy and moist final product.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Mix together the corn, tomatoes, lemon peel, 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl.
  2. Lay out a 12- by 15-inch sheet of parchment paper or foil. Arrange one-quarter of the vegetables on 1 side. Fold a fish fillet into thirds and place on top of the vegetables. Top with one-quarter of the leeks, 1 sprig of thyme, 2 teaspoons of the wine, 1/2 teaspoon oil, and a pinch salt. Fold the other side of the parchment over the fish. Starting at 1 corner, fold the edges of paper over by 1/2 inch all around, overlapping the folds until sealed. Repeat with more parchment and the remaining fish, vegetables, wine and oil to make 4 packets. Place the packets onto a jelly-roll pan and bake for 15 minutes. 
  3. Meanwhile, place the spinach in a glass bowl and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave on high until wilted, 2 minutes. Stir in 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. 
  4. Open the fish packets and serve with the spinach.
