Easy and healthy fish en papillote

En papillote is a French style of cooking in which the food (fish, chicken or vegetables) is put into a folded parchment paper (Aluminum foil paper can be used as well) . The paper holds in the moisture while cooking the food while less or no oil is required thus making it a healthy way of cooking.

I decided to do a trout en papillote with fennel which was incredibly moist and tasty
