Mackerel en Papillote (Fish)

Mackerel en Papillote          1 (x 10 Portions):

Ingredients:
1 Fillet of Mackerel
Salt-Pepper
½ Tea Spoon of Parsley Leaves, chopped
15 ml. of Butter (Melted)
5 ml. of (Chopped) Shallots
1 pinch of (Fresh) Ginger (Chopped)
1 Lemon slice
Method:
First of all, Cut a piece of parchment paper, (heart-shaped). Now, oil the parchment, & place it on the working station, make sure you put the oiled side facing down! Then, put the fish on 1 side of the heart shaped parchment, and brush the fish with some of the butter and then you sprinkle some of the salt-pepper, parsley, shallot and the ginger. Do not forget to put the lemon slice on top at the end. Now, you have to fold and crimp the paper, on all the cut sides, and make sure that the fish is tightly closed. Now, comes the fun part! You put the folded package in a pan. Start cooking it at 425 Degree F. And you have to continue cooking till you see that the parchment puffed up and golden brown in color, which should take not more than 7 min. Now you serve your beautiful fish with some rice and your choice of vegetable Medley!
NB:  IN THE PAN YOU CAN COOK AS MANY AS YOU WANT, BUT START WITH 10 FILLETS!
