Grey Sole is the perfect fish for cooking in parchment. The technique can be used for many things beyond classic fish dishes.


En Papilliote in French, or al Cartcoccio in Italian. In any language this method of cooking spells healthy, easy and dramatic dinner. Cooking in parchment paper is also a great way to use fresh fish, herbs, and summer vegetables.

You can use the bounty of the farmers markets and make completely vegetarian combinations, or go Provencal style with some heirloom tomatoes, olives and herbs.

Delicate mushrooms such as fresh shiitakes or Bear's Head Mushrooms are terrific in this method, too.
