      2 tb butter or margarine
      1 lg orange

Instructions

1. Cut 4 pieces of parchment paper or foil into rough heart shapes
measuring about 12 inches long and 10 inches at widest point. Paper must be
at least 3 inches longer than fish.

2. Butter paper. Rinse fillets; pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt
and pepper. Place 1 fillet on right side of each heart, thickest end of
fillet toward rounded edge of heart.

3. Cut orange and lemon in halves. For each fruit, use the grated rind and
juice of one half and cut the other half into wedges for garnish.

seconds. Stir grated rinds and juices into melted butter. Drizzle butter

heart to hold case closed.

6. Place papillotes in microwave oven in a spoke pattern, with twisted tips
pointing inward. Microwave on 100% power 5 minutes.

7. To serve, place 1 packet on each of 4 serving plates. At the table, cut
packets open by slashing a large X on top of each; fold back paper. Place a
lemon and orange wedge on each plate.

NOTES : Cooking in parchment paper is both practical and attractive. The
paper encases the fish fillets, assuring flavor by sealing in natural
juices and flavorings and easing cleanup as well. The presentation is fun
because you cut open the papillotes at the table and eat right from the
paper.
