subtlehouse2 whole or 4 half tilapia or catfish filets
2 cups (1 pint) mirepoix, shredded carrots, or canned tomatoes
2 bay leaves
Sprigs of tarragon, thyme, or oregano
Lemons (optional)
Cut central veins out of whole filets. If using catfish, soak filets for 15 minutes to 1 hour in Sprite, ginger ale, or lemon water. Rinse fish well in cold water.
Preheat oven to 425 F. Optional: gently sauté veg and herbs in olive oil for a few minutes until the veg start to soften and brown.
Salt and pepper the half-filets and put each one on a sheet of foil. Put an herb sprig and half a bay leaf on each one, and cover them with the veg or tomatoes. Fold the foil up into a tightly sealed envelope and bake on baking sheet 10 minutes for tilapia or 15 minutes for catfish, or until fish is opaque and flaky all the way through. Serve envelopes on individual plates to keep fish hot. Eat immediately.
