Amber Jack en Papillote(Amber Jack in Parchment)

….Amber Jack cooked en papillote means wrapped in a packet of parchment paper(or foil). It’s a dramatic way to procure perfectly cooked amber jack, but it isn’t difficult. Fold a fillet into a piece of parchment paper, and then layer it with seasonings or vegetables. Then simply bake the packets until done. The steam created by the parchment paper produces reliably moist amber jack, and opening the individual packets at the table makes for a fun way to start dinner. This recipe is known as a French home-cooked meal. It was interesting to make a simple and different recipe without using a steamer. You can cook this way with chicken and seafood as well.
