Salmon en papillote
One of the cooking techniques that he likes best for fish and vegetables and even soft meats is the papillote . With this technique we achieve great results in terms of texture, flavors and final properties of the food. The papillote is still a type of steam cooking that is produced thanks to the packaging in which the fish is going to be presented.
To make the papillote we can use aluminum foil, parchment paper, special plastic film for baking and lately we can see utensils specially designed to make papillote made of platinum silicone. Steam cooking allows you to cook food in an economical, simple and healthy way. On the other hand, food maintains its flavor and, most importantly, its nutritional qualities.
