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.
