Parchment-baked fish with asparagus and artichokes
Contributor
"Baking fish—or any seafood, really—in parchment paper is an easy trick to bring something super flavorful together very quickly. Stuffing the ingredients inside a parchment parcel keeps all the flavor in and allows them to really meld, resulting in a dish that’s both fragrant and tender. Plus, it doesn’t require any dishware, save for a baking sheet—has clean-up ever been so easy?"
