I made fish in pappillotes tonight (little envelopes of baking parchment) tonight, which is a really nice way of steaming a fish. I used fennel and chunks of fresh orange, just lightly sauteeing the fennel in a pan first, then putting a filet of arctic char on the paper, adding the orange and fennel, sprinkling with salt and pepper. Then role up the edges, and just before you seal the last edge, add a bit of white wine. Put in an oven heated to 500, and cook for 12 minutes. The quality of the fish was fantastic, and the presentation of the wrapped paper is stylish enough to be appropriate for valentine's day.
