Fish en Papillote just a fancy french way of saying cooking your fish in parchment is delicious. When I bought the groceries to start the Whole 30 program I bought every protein that looked interesting. We had varieties of beef, chicken and turkey but started with fish. We don’t eat a lot of fish and because of that I don’t have a long list of recipes on hand. Cooking in parchment always sounded intriguing though so it seemed a good place to start.
Had I known how fast and delicious this would be we would have been eating it a long time ago. I think I spent 15 minutes preparing this. I am a slow methodical preparer so you could probably get this ready quicker. Once it is put together it is 15 minutes in the oven. Microwaving a sweet potato only takes 5 minutes which gives you a healthy Whole 30 dinner in 30 minutes.
Start with a piece of parchment large enough to wrap your fish in. Lay the fish in the middle of the parchment and pile the other ingredients on top.
Wrap up the fish so that it is air tight.
Bake in the oven. Carefully open the pouch and admire your work.
Serve and enjoy
