If you are a seasoned cook or a newbie, if you bake fish regularly or if cooking fish scares the pants off of you, or (and this is key) if you think you don’t generally like fish, you are going to find something to love about today’s easy cooking method.
Fish cooked en papillote (which is French for “in paper” and is pronounced ahn-pa-pee-yawt) means to bake fish inside of a pouch made of folded parchment paper.
How to Make Baked Fish En Papillote
Think of this recipe as choose-your-own adventure in tasty fish cookery. You can vary the herbs, the vegetables, and even the fish. I have listed a few of my favorite suggestions for you here.
The Ingredients
Fish. Any firm-bodied, flaky fish works beautifully. For this recipe, I used cod, as it is widely available and affordable (it’s also delicious in this Grilled Cod recipe). Salmon, flounder, trout, and halibut are also wonderful fish to bake in paper. Cod can taste a bit, erm, fishy compared to other varieties so if you are newer to seafood, I’d suggest starting with flounder as it is very mild.
Softened Butter with Canola Oil. For maximum ease, I use Land O Lakes® Butter with Canola Oil. Made with three simple ingredients—sweet cream, canola oil, and salt—it delivers high-quality butter, but is instantly spreadable, so it’s ideal for making a fast, compound-style butters to spread on fish (and bread and vegetables and crackers).
The Directions
- Add the Land O Lakes® Butter with Canola Oil, garlic cloves, parsley, shallot, and spices to a small bowl.
- Zest the lemon into the bowl (reserve the whole lemon) and use a fork to smooth. Read More…
