fish in a bag

Woke up on a Saturday with no food plans... hmm what to eat? Wife sent me to Whole foods to buy some ingredients for a party on Sunday, where there I tasted some hummus, and ran into some roasted garlic bread and fresh cod. Idea: middle eastern type fish, with olives, hummus, a good bread, some wine.  Lunch was starting to look good.
Picked up a nice piece of cod, got an assortment of olives, picked up the hummus and a loaf of roasted garlic batard.   Why did middle eastern come to mind?  Am reading Anthony Bourdain's 'Cooks Tour' book and the last chapter was about his travels to Morocco.  Also the hummus was really tasty - local NC made hummus by EPRI foods.

Came home looked on Food Network and came across a recipe for fish baked in parchment by of all people Rachel Ray.  She has good ideas but I find her annoying.  The below is a recipe for Fish in parchment or fish in a bag a'la' Salil.

Accompanying the fish in a bag was a piece of the fresh loaf of roasted garlic bread, hummus, and Jalapeno mashed potatoes (these were made by wife).

Indegredients:
a nice piece of cod - I cut perpendicular to the spine into 2 inch pieces
tsp anise/fennel seeds
pinch of Hungarian smokey paprika
few olives
Some white wine
butter
garlic powder
kosher salt
sugar
fresh ground pepper
Japanese 7 spice powder
Cilantro (I wanted parsley but didn't have any at home)

Procedure:
Cut large piece of parchment paper - enough so you can fold it over and tuck it under itself.
Place few pieces of fish in center, sprinkle them with kosher salt, fresh pepper, garlic powder, few pinches of sugar (yes sugar) and a dash of japanese 7 spice powder, Hungarian smokey paprika, and anise/fennel seeds.
Throw on some chopped cilantro, and plenty of olives (see pic above), and a thin slice of butter on each piece of fish.
Pour on top some good white wine (I used a 2006 Bordeaux - we didn't finish the night before).
fold the parchment from both sides and roll and tuck the opposite sides under and place in a baking pan
Place pan in oven at 400 for 15 min.  (oven was preheated oto 400).
You're done.

Started meal with bread and hummus.  Accompanied the fish with potatoes and a glass of Mondavi private selection wine!  Cheers to a great afternoon of bliss-full eating.
