Lactose Free Cod en Papillote with Lemon, Herbs & Cherry Tomatoes

Cooking fish in parchment is one of those techniques that feels fancy but is genuinely low-effort, and the results are absolutely stunning. Each fillet steams inside its own sealed pouch with cherry tomatoes, zucchini, fresh thyme, lemon rounds, and a splash of dry white wine — all the aromatics doing their best work in a tight, fragrant little package. Garlic-infused oil brings deep savory flavor without any dairy in sight, so there's nothing to swap, nothing to omit, and no label-reading required. The natural juices from the fish and vegetables create a light, bright sauce right in the parcel, which means you get a saucy, restaurant-worthy result with zero cream or butter. Opening the parchment at the table releases a cloud of herby, lemony steam that makes the whole thing feel like an event. It's an elegant weeknight dinner that happens to be completely free of lactose by design, not by compromise.
