How to make white fish in papillote

To make the papillote special silicone cases can be used or make us the heat resistant wrap using foil or sulfurized vegetable paper or baking paper, with which we will wrap the food. As we have two ration fish, - which usually give for more than one serving - we are going to make two packages.

We start by putting a few drops of oil at the base of each aluminum paper and on it we place the vegetables distributed evenly, forming a kind of bed on which, then we will accommodate the fish.

On the vegetables, sprinkle a little salt and add a minimum amount of oil, less than a tablespoon will be enough. Above, we place the fish, which must be open and clean, just as we have asked the fishmonger and salt and pepper inside. Too we can ask to give us the loins instead of using whole fish.

The cooking time varies depending on the size of the fish, and the amount of vegetables we use. To give you an idea, the golden ones of about 250 gr took 10 minutes at 190º in the conventional oven. If you do them In the microwave you will have to use a silicone case, and then, it would be enough with about 5 minutes.
