Fish Fillet En Croute - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) fillet cod, cut into 2 pieces
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed and cut into 2 rectangles
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 (4 ounce) jar roasted red bell peppers, drained and sliced
1 sprig fresh thyme, leaves removed
1 egg, lightly beaten

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place each piece of cod fillet on one of the puff pastry rectangles and season well with salt and pepper. Sprinkle each fish fillet with 1/2 the feta cheese, the roasted red peppers, and the thyme leaves. Fold pastry over the fish and pinch edges together to make a pouch. Brush top with beaten egg and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until puff pastry is golden brown and fish flakes easily with a fork, about 30 minutes.
