Professional Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Prepare the vegetable base:

Wash and cut the potatoes and eggplant into very thin slices (panadera style). In a skillet with a drop of oil, give them a quick toss so they soften slightly before going into the oven, since fish cooks faster than vegetables.

2. Assemble the papillote:

Cut 4 large squares of parchment paper or aluminum foil. In the center of each one, place a bed of potato and eggplant slices. Sprinkle a little Bonsalt .

3. Prepare the fish:

Place a hake fillet on top of the vegetable base. Add pepper, the almonds on top, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. If you like, add a few drops of lemon for freshness.

4. Seal and bake:

Seal the packets tightly, joining the edges so the steam cannot escape. Place in the preheated oven at 200ºC for about 12-15 minutes. The packet will puff up slightly from the steam inside.

5. Serving:

Serve each packet directly on the plate so each person can open it at the table, enjoying all the aromas released.
