Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent.
-
Add the diced carrots to the skillet and cook for a few minutes until they begin to soften.
-
Stir in the cherry tomatoes and frozen peas, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
-
Pour in the heavy cream and season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the cream to simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
-
Place the fish fillets on top of the vegetable mixture in the skillet, gently pressing them into the cream sauce.
-
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to form a rectangle large enough to cover the skillet.
-
Carefully place the puff pastry over the fish and vegetable filling, tucking the edges inside the skillet to seal the "sleeping bag."
-
Brush the puff pastry with the beaten egg to create a golden, shiny finish.
-
Using a sharp knife, make a few slits on the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape while baking.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
-
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
