Fish en Papillote
Serves 4
“En Papillote” is a cooking method that hails from France and means, “to cook in paper.” The ingredients are baked in a folded packet, which holds in moisture and allows the flavours to meld while the ingredients steam and cook. It’s incredibly easy to do and the results are delicious. Bon appetit!
