Good Fish en Papillote (cooked in parchment) recipe?
I've got the basic technique in a cookbook, but are there any ways to flavor the fish? My family isn't that fond of bland flavors. We like flavorful foods.

4 5oz Fish -COD; SeaBass; or Halibut (your choice)
11/2 C Fresh corn kernels ( about 2 ears ) or canned or frozen
1 pound Tomatoes, Diced (you can used canned)
½ C diced scallions, including light green parts
2 stalks celery with tops, finely diced ( I really like the celery – crunchy)
1 1-inch piece fresh ginger minced ( I don’t like ginger so I didn’t use)
1 serrano chilie, seeded and minced
2 TBL olive oil
Juice of 1 Lime
Kosher salt and cayenne pepper to taste (I used about 3 tsp salt + ½ tsp cayenne)
Mix above and place on each piece of fish bake 400 degree 20 min or till paper is brown
Note: Different parchments brown at different rates and at different temperatures.
Saute 2 medium shallots, chopped
1/4 tsp dired thyme
1 bay leaf in 3 tbsp of butter in a large skillet.
Add 3 tbsp all purpose flour and cook over low heat, stirring constantly for several minuts
Remove from heat and whisk in 1/2 cup dry white win a little at a time.
Place back on burner, whisking constantly and whisk in 3/4 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup milk
Simmer stirring constantly until thick.
Add crab into the sauce whisking for about 2 minutes.
Put this over the fish you are using, wrap in parchment paper and bake at 400F for about 8 minutes.
Finish with a crunchy sea salt.
Serve some malt vinegar, or vinegar heated with hot with peppers on the side.
Or you could use this Tomato tequila salsa butter as a finishing sauce.
