Cod Parcels

There’s a rustic appeal to cooking and serving food in a paper bag. This classic-looking dish could be served at a formal dinner party, yet it’s fast enough to become a regular on your weekday menu. Besides being fun to eat, cooking in parchment seals in the moisture and that’s the perfect environment for cooking fish.
