Fish in a Pouch

Cultural Context

Fish in a pouch, or fish en papillote, has roots in French cuisine but has become popular in American cooking for its simplicity and health benefits. This method of cooking allows the fish to steam in its own juices, preserving moisture and flavor. It's a versatile dish that can be adapted with various herbs and vegetables, making it a favorite for weeknight dinners and special occasions alike.
