INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Anchovy Butter: Rinse the anchovies well to remove their salt. Run your
thumbnail along the backbone of each anchovy to remove the fillets. Discard
the bones and mince the fillets into a paste. Transfer the paste to a small
bowl and mix in the remaining ingredients. (The anchovy butter can be
prepared up to 1 day in advance, covered and refrigerated. Remove from the
refrigerator and let stand until softened before using.) Tomato Confit:
Place the tomatoes in a colander and toss with the salt. Let drain at room
temperature for 2 hours. Pat the tomatoes dry with paper towels. Preheat
the oven to 250 degrees. Place the tomatoes, garlic, and rosemary in a
nonreactive 2-quart saucepan. Add enough oil to cover the tomatoes. Cover
the saucepan and bake until the tomatoes are very tender, but not falling
apart, about 3 hours. Drain, discard the garlic and rosemary, and set the
tomato confit aside for the sauce. (The tomato confit can be prepared up to
3 days in advance, covered and refrigerated.) Assembly: Bring a medium
saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil and add the fennel. Cook for 1
minute. Drain, rinse under cold water, and drain again. Place in a bowl and
add the Tomato Confit, olives, and capers. Mix well and set aside. In a
small bowl, beat the egg white until foamy. In another small bowl, beat the
egg yolk and heavy cream. Set the two bowls aside. Fold each piece of
parchment paper in half. Using scissors, cut each folded piece of paper
into a wide, plump heart shape (each opened heart should be about 12 inches
across its widest point). Place an opened parchment heart on your work
surface, with the fold running vertically. Leaving a 1-inch border, spread
one side of the heart with 1 tablespoon anchovy butter. Top with 1 turbot
fillet, one-fourth of the fennel mixture, 2 tablespoons vermouth, and 1
additional tablespoon of anchovy butter. Season with the salt and pepper
mixture. Brush the outside edge of the heart with the beaten egg white.
Fold the unbuttered side of the parchment heart over to cover the fish.
Using tight interlocking folds, close the edges of the paper heart. Place
on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Brush the tops of
the papillotes with the egg yolk mixture. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat
the oven to 375 degrees. You will need 1 large skillet for each papillote.
Place 1 tablespoon of oil in each skillet, and heat over medium heat. Add 1
papillote to each skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the undersides
are deeply browned. Transfer the skillets to the oven and bake until the
top of the papillate is browned, about 5 minutes. To serve, cut open each
papillate and transfer the contents, including all the juices, to warmed
dinner plates. This recipe yields 4 servings.
