I had Anthony for a couple of days and knew I would be tired tonight so I took out some talapia to thaw and used this recipe. It calls for Striped Bass, but I used talapia. I forgot to take a picture, but you can go to foodnetwork.com and type in this title and it should come up with a picture. We really liked this dish and thought the sauce would be good on veg.

Ingredients:
1 medium Idaho baker potato, washed and dried
8 Tablespoons extra- virgin olive oil
4 (8oz) pieces striped bass, pin bones removed, skin-on -My talapia did not have skin
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 Tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 Tablespoons fresh dill fronds
1 lemon, cut into thin slices and seeds discarded
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
2 limes, juiced
Arrange 2 shelves in the oven at a fair distance from each other. The foil-enveloped fish will need some room to puff and expand as it cooks. Better to rearrange the oven racks while the oven is not yet hot. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Bake the potato until tender, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Since I knew I was going to be at mini-town with Anthony all day and then taking him home, I used the microwave and cooked the potato before I left home this morning.
Spread about a 2 foot sheet of foil on a flat surface with 1/2 of it hanging off the counter in front of you. Put the fish, skin side down, horizontally, onto the foil near the end of the counter leaving about 1 1/2 inches of foil on both sides. Season the flesh side of the fish with salt and pepper, to taste, and sprinkle with some dill, parsley and a few lemon slices. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons olive oil on top of the fish. Fold the foil back over the fish and fold in the sides of the foil twice. Leaving some air in the package, roll the top of the foil down twice gathering the top to make a window. Leaving about 6-8 inches between the fish and the top. It should look like a small package, with all the sides sealed. There should be enough room left around the fish to allow for the steam to build up as it cooks, creating an inflated envelope around the fish. Repeat with the remaining 3 pieces of fish. Just so you know, if you do it wrong and it doesn't puff-up, it will still taste wonderful. I was almost out of foil and didn't have enough foil.
Put the garlic cloves in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the garlic is finely chopped. Add the egg yolks and pulse to blend. When the potato is completely cooked and still warm, put it on a flat surface and split it open lengthwise. Use a tablespoon to scoop out the flesh, totaling about 3-4 tablespoons, and add it to the processor. Pulse to combine. With the processor running, slowly add the 1/2 cup of olive oil, through the opening at the top, in a steady stream. Add the sugar and lime juice and pulse to incorporate. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Cooks note: If the mixture is too thick, add a little cold water to loosen the texture. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl, cover and refrigerate.
Using 2 baking sheets, put 2 of the foil envelopes on each sheet and add a little water to the bottom of the sheet pan. This water will create additional steam in the oven as the fish cooks. Put the baking sheets on 2 shelves of the oven and bake., undisturbed, until the envelopes begin to puff, about 12-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately transfer to 4 dinner plates. To serve, break open the foil and drizzle with the aioli.
Raw egg warning: Food network kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.
