Fish en Papillote is a French cooking technique that involves baking fish fillets or whole fish in a parchment paper or aluminum foil packet. The fish is typically seasoned with herbs, spices, and aromatics, along with a drizzle of olive oil or butter. The packet is then sealed tightly to create a steam-filled environment, allowing the fish to cook gently and retain its moisture. As the fish bakes, it absorbs the flavors from the seasonings and creates a delicate and flavorful dish. This cooking method also helps to keep the fish tender and prevents it from drying out. The packet is usually opened at the table, releasing a burst of aromatic steam and presenting a visually appealing dish.
