This elegant yet simple dish transforms delicate flounder into a restaurant-quality meal using the en papillote method. The fish steams in its own juices alongside dry white wine, infusing it with bright, citrusy notes. A spread of Calvert’s Cedar Street Chive Mustard adds a savory kick, while the Pecan Vinaigrette brings a nutty richness that complements the lean fish perfectly. Fresh lemon slices and toasted pecan halves provide both flavor and texture. It’s an ideal choice for a sophisticated weeknight dinner or a light, satisfying lunch that feels indulgent without being heavy. The foil packet ensures easy cleanup and moist, tender results every time.

Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375ðF (190ðC).
-
Cut four large sheets of aluminum foil, each big enough to wrap a fish fillet.
-
Place one flounder fillet in the center of each foil sheet.
-
Spread a thin layer of Calvert's Cedar Street Chive Mustard over the top of each fillet.
-
Pour approximately 2 tablespoons of Calvert's Cedar Street Pecan Vinaigrette over each mustard-covered fillet.
-
Place two thin lemon slices on top of each fillet.
-
Divide the pecan halves evenly, scattering a quarter of them over each fillet.
-
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of dry white wine over each fillet.
-
Fold the foil over the fish and crimp the edges tightly to create a sealed packet.
-
Place packets on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
-
Carefully open the foil packets, releasing the steam, and transfer the fish and garnish to warm plates.
