Preparation

Preheat barbecue (or oven) to 425°F (220 °C). Cut out 4 large squares each of parchment paper and foil. Place paper on foil (to keep fish from sticking).

Place a sprig of oregano, a sprig of thyme and 1/4 bay leaf on each square of paper. Place a fish fillet on each square.

In a bowl, stir together shallot, garlic, parsley, mustard, broth, salt and pepper. Divide mixture evenly among fillets. Top with cheese.

Fold up each papillote and seal. Barbecue (or bake) for 5 to 8 minutes. To serve, place contents of each papillote on a plate, and accompany with a garden vegetable salad.

Tips

Variations Can also be cooked in microwave oven. Instead of making individual papillotes, place all ingredients in a shallow microwave-safe dish, cover with a lid or a plastic wrap and microwave on high for 7 to 8 minutes.

Weekend Version: Choose a fancier fish (like halibut, trout or mahi-mahi) and add 1/4 cup (60 mL) of white wine instead of broth.

For a change of taste, replace Canadian Gouda with Edam, Medium Cheddar or Monterey Jack.
