This recipe for Fish en Papillote (which is French for Fish in Parchment) <\/em>couldn’t be easier – and talk about EASY cleanup! In this elegant recipe, cod (or another fish) <\/em>is set atop sun-dried tomatoes, summer squash, corn, and green onions, then drizzled with lemon garlic herb butter and sprinkled with capers. The whole meal is wrapped in parchment paper, then baked. The parchment packet creates a seal that keeps the steam in while everything cooks, resulting in a perfectly flaky and moist result and infusing all of the flavors into the fish and veggies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is another collaboration between me and my dad! A while back, I got to share his recipe for New England Fish Chowder<\/a>, and you all LOVED IT. We’ve been planning yet another delicious (and easy!)<\/em> fish recipe for some time now. Here it is – Cod en Papillote!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why should you consider cooking fish in parchment paper? There are three main reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Easy clean-up! <\/strong>I’m telling you – this has to be the easiest, and cleanest, way to cook fish. The clean-up is incredibly minimal – everything is both cooked and served in a nice neat little parchment packet. This keeps the surface of your baking sheet and plate clean. There is no searing anything, no pots to dirty, nothing sticking to anything. Just toss the parchment paper when you’re done!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Perfectly cooked fish, with very low risk of overcooking or drying out. <\/strong>Have you ever cooked fish and had it dry out from being overcooked? NOT WITH THIS METHOD! It’s incredibly easy to get a super moist, flaky result with the fish with a low risk of it overcooking and drying out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. A whole meal in one. <\/strong>For this fish en papillote recipe, the fish is cooked with summer squash and zucchini, corn, and sun-dried tomatoes, for a complete and satisfying meal. No side dishes needed! (though I would recommend some bread or something to mop up the DELICIOUS sauce from the bottom of the parchment packet).<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In this post, I’ll explain how to make fish en papillote, along with two methods for wrapping the parchment paper packets. There’s a trick to getting a nice tight seal, keeping the steam inside and cooking everything perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
