Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep the vegetables and fish

Heat the oven to 400°F. 

  • Cut away any core from the cabbage; coarsely chop the cabbage.
  • Peel and thinly slice half the onion for the fish; coarsely chop the remaining onion half for the salsa. [Peel and thinly slice 1 onion; peel and coarsely chop the remaining onion.]
  • Pat the fish dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper and rub all over with the smoky spice blend. 

2

Assemble the parchment packets

Lay the parchment paper sheets side by side. Divide the cabbage, sliced onion, and fish between the sheets. Drizzle each with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Working with 1 sheet at a time, bring 2 opposite sides of the parchment to the center and fold them together several times to create a tight seam. Fold up each end to form a tight seal. 

3

Bake the packets

Place the packets on a sheet pan, sealed sides up, and bake until the parchment is puffed and browned and the fish is opaque and flaky, 12 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the salsa. 

4

Make the avocado-citrus salsa

  • Peel the cucumber, if desired; cut the cucumber in half lengthwise, then crosswise into enough ½-inch-thick half-moons to measure 1 cup [2 cups].
  • Using your hands or a sharp knife, peel the orange. Cut the fruit crosswise into ½-inch-thick slices. Discard any seeds. 
  • Cut the avocado in half lengthwise. Remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and cut the flesh into ½-inch pieces.
  • Zest and juice the lime. [Zest and juice 1 lime; save the remaining lime for another use.] 
  • Coarsely chop the cilantro. 

In a medium bowl, stir together the cucumber, orange, avocado, lime zest and juice, cilantro, and chopped onion; season to taste with salt and pepper. 

Serve

Open the fish packets, being careful of any venting steam, and transfer to individual plates. Serve the avocado-citrus salsa on the side.
