I really enjoy trying some of your recipes; I am a cancer survivor and am always looking for healthier food ideas. Your recipe for Salmon in Parchment with Mangoes - is it possible to use foil for the pockets instead of parchment?
Certainly you can use foil instead of the parchment. There may be a subtle difference in the meal in that the parchment breathes a little more so you might add a little less liquid. A good rule of thumb is to add 25% less liquid when you use foil.
One thing to keep in mind is to open the pockets carefully because the steam is hot, hot, hot.
Here are some recipes for you:
