How to make sole fillets en papillote:

1. We spread a sheet of parchment paper on a baking tray and brush it with a little butter. To do this, we recommend using a kitchen brush and slightly melting the butter.
2. Place two sole fillets on the paper. In this way, we will make the packets of sole in the foil two by two.
3. On top of the fish, we put the zucchini cut into thin strips, the peeled and cut carrot and the sliced ​​leek. The amount of each vegetable is to taste, and depending on the size of the fillets, so the amount indicated in the ingredients is indicative.
4. Later, we add the prawns without the head (we can also add them completely peeled), and a drizzle of olive oil. We reserve the heads to prepare a sauce later.
5. We close the packages and preheat the oven to 180 ºC. Once hot, bake the sole fillets en papillote for approximately 10 minutes, although the final time may vary depending on the power of the oven.
6. While the fish is baking, we prepare the cider sauce. To do this, we heat a knob of butter in a casserole and brown the heads of the prawns. Then, we water with the cider and let it reduce by half, cooking over medium-low heat. Strain and reserve.
7. Separately, in another casserole we heat another nut of butter and the tablespoon of flour, stirring constantly. Once the flour is browned, add the reserved sauce, the small glass of heavy cream and mix.
8. We serve the sole fillets en papillote accompanied by the previous cider sauce and, if we want, some baked or microwaved potatoes, white rice or a tomato salad.
