It is always best to serve papillotes still sealed. Your guests can then open the little parcels themselves and enjoy the wonderful aromas that escape.

Remarks

If you have some of the coriander cream sauce left over after making up the papillotes, serve it to accompany the fish, but well chilled, as the coriander has more flavour when it is fresh and raw.

You can, of course, use other fish instead of sea bass: whiting, sole, etc.

Keeping:

Should be eaten immediately.
