Flounder Baked in Fig Leaves

Author: Ciao Chow Linda

Ingredients

• Flounder (or salmon or snapper) (1 filet per person)

• fig leaves (1 or 2 large fig leaves per portion)

• olive oil to drizzle

• salt, pepper

• fresh herbs (I used a combination of chives, thyme and parsley)

• lemon slices

Instructions

1. Rinse the fig leaves.

2. Spread a little olive oil on a cookie sheet.

3. Lay the fig leaf down, then place a filet of fish on top.

4. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, the minced herbs, then drizzle a little olive oil on top of the fish.

5. Lay a couple of slices of lemon over the fish.

6. Close the fig leaf over the fish, then flip it over so that the flaps are on the bottom.

7. If some of the fish is uncovered, but up another fig leaf and wrap around the exposed parts.

8. Bake in a 375 degree over for 25 minutes.

9. Serve immediately with the fig leaves, allowing each person to unwrap the leaves.
