US-based prepared seafood company Blue Horizon Wild has launched the first line of all natural, seafood entrees that use the classic French cooking method of steaming recipes in a sealed wrapper or en papillote.
According to the company, en papillote seals in natural juices and nutrients that are usually lost during other cooking methods such as baking, sauteing and broiling.
En papillote relies on little or no oils or butter for moistness. This cooking method ensures that the seafood is moist and infused with the flavors of the vegetables, herbs and other ingredients steamed in the wrapper with it.
The four new recipes are based on regional specialties from around the world - Seafood Cioppino, Sweet & Spicy Sole, Mediterranean Salmon and Seafood Enchiladas. Each is prepared in small batches and features all natural ingredients and, responsibly sourced sustainable seafood from artisan fishing communities.
The new entrees are already in national distribution and can be found in either the seafood or frozen food cases of a number of national retailers.
