Fish En "papillote"

Submitted by xtine

"A delicious, easy, and very quick way to prepare fish. It uses aluminum foil as the "papillote", which makes it very easy, and cleanup is even easier! You can use monkfish, black sea bass, grouper, red snapper, turbot, perch....I haven't made it w/ salmon, but it would probably work with that too. If you are watching your cholesterol and don't want to use butter, you can substitute olive oil for it instead."

6. Remove from the oven. Place each foil packet in a soup plate or bowl, & open by slitting the uncrimped side with a knife or scissors, and gently slide the contents, with its liquid, into the dish.
