How to make Black Cod with Olives and Potatoes in Parchment

Preheat oven to 204°C with a baking sheet on bottom rack.

Cut potatoes into very thin slices with slicer. Toss potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon oregano, and 1/4 teaspoons sea salt. Divide potatoes among parchment squares, arranging them in centre, slightly overlapping, then top with a piece of fish. Sprinkle each fillet with a scant 1/4 teaspoons sea salt, then top each with a lemon slice, a few garlic slices and olive slivers, parsley leaves, 1/2 teaspoons oregano, and 1/2 tablespoons oil.

Gather sides of parchment up over fish to form a pouch, leaving no openings, and tie tightly with kitchen string. Put packages on hot baking sheet and bake until fish is just cooked through, 15 to 22 minutes.
