  3. Brush surrounding dough with beaten egg, then bring dough over fish and seal into package. Chill while making remaining pkgs.. Don't keep pkgs. more than 30 min or possibly fish will become too salty.
  4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and place baking sheet on rack to heat. Arrange pkgs. on warm baking sheet and bake 12 min. Remove and let pkgs. stand 10 min.
  5. To serve, place fish, still in crust, on warmed plates with your chosen vegetable. Guests should remove crust at table, but warn them not to eat it.
