Cod en Papillote

Kabeljauw in Papillotte

A dish that looks special on your plate with just a few simple supplies and ingredients, and ideal if you want to watch your fat intake.

Preparation

  1. This dish is very easy to put together.
  2. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
  3. Take 3 sheets of baking paper and lay them side by side.
  4. Slice the onion into rings, the lemon into slices/strips, and the fennel into slices/strips.
  5. First, spread the fennel in the center of the baking paper. Then place the fish on top. Top with the onion and lemon. These release moisture, which steams the fish to cook it inside the parcel. Finish with a few sprigs of dill and a teaspoon of juniper berries.
  6. Fold the short sides of the baking paper towards each other and roll it tightly down to wrap the dish. Tie the ends shut with kitchen twine.
  7. You can prepare this dish a day in advance so that you have time for your guests during dinner.
  8. Place the parcels in the oven for 20 minutes, and the fish will cook along with the ingredients.
Enjoy.
