Fish En Papillote is a classic French cooking technique that involves baking fish in a parchment paper packet. This method seals in moisture and flavors, resulting in a tender, perfectly cooked fish infused with aromatic herbs and vegetables. The parchment packet creates a mini steam oven, gently cooking the fish and accompanying ingredients to perfection. When opened at the table, it releases an enticing aroma, making for an impressive presentation. This healthy cooking method requires minimal added fats and allows the natural flavors of the fish and vegetables to shine. Fish En Papillote is not only delicious but also easy to prepare and clean up, making it ideal for both weeknight dinners and elegant entertaining.
