Fish en Papillote

Okay, so its a fancy way of saying: Steam fish in parchment paper :)
Putting it in the parchment paper allows the fish to steam in its own juices, and absorb whatever herbs and spices that have been added. I bought parchment packets, making it easy to wrap up!
(You can get similar results by making packets from foil).

I used a recipe that made a sauce from mushrooms, tomatoes, and wine. They use heavy cream, however I never use heavy cream in anything. Here is a tip: you can get the same results by mixing 1c. milk with 1/4c. flour!! Just whisk the two together until you have a uniform mixture. This version is a lot healthier and without all the fat!
Right before being wrapped up and put in the oven.

Finished product. Goes well with steamed rice
Finally, here is the link to the recipe:

**I also skipped the butter, and sauteed my veggies in olive oil...another heart healthy habit.
