The fish turned out great but the pan has a sticky stain that I can't remove. Tried baking soda, lemon juice, barkeepers friend to no avail. Any other tips or things to try before I have to throw this very expensive pan away?

In the pan make a paste of baking soda, dish soap with a little water. Scrub away the stain using a sponge. You may have to repeat if you have a few remaining spots.
Vinegar and let it sit.
Bar Keepers Friend. Works almost every time.
Keep in mind most parchment is only rated to 400 or so 🙁
It’s iron. I would scrub it off with something abrasive, and then re-season if needed.
Soak overnight, and then use a soft scrub brush. Boiling some water in the pan for a bit may also help.
Le creuset cookware cleaner is heavily fragranced, but does work very well, and isn’t too abrasive for enameled cookware. It’s expensive, but I use a couple of drops every month or so when something gets really baked on.
Did you oil both sides of the parchment? Wondering if it was caused by direct burning of the paper on the pan.
