Ingredients

• 4 pieces Orange roughy fillets
• 2 medium Zucchini
• 1 large Orange
• 1 large Lemon
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 sheets Aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Slice the zucchini into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 3

Zest and juice the orange and lemon, keeping the zest and juice separate.

Step 4

Mince the garlic and chop the fresh parsley.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the orange juice, orange zest, lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Lay out the aluminum foil sheets on a flat surface. Place one orange roughy fillet in the center of each sheet.

Step 7

Arrange the zucchini slices around and slightly under each fillet, dividing evenly among the packets.

Step 8

Drizzle the citrus and herb mixture equally over the fish and zucchini in each packet.

Step 9

Fold the foil around the fish and zucchini to create a sealed packet, ensuring that no juices can escape during cooking.

Step 10

Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 11

Carefully open the packets to release the steam and serve immediately, either as-is or with a side of rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
