Black Cod with Olives and Potatoes in ParchmentRoland Bello

A favorite Barese recipe (often named for San Nicola, the guardian saint of sailors), these little packets seal in the fish and vegetable juices, with the potato slices insulating the fish from the heat of the oven and the olives and lemon slices emphasizing its bright flavors.

Cooks' note:

Fish can be assembled in parchment 4 hours ahead and chilled.
