Ingredients

• 4 fillets boneless, skinless white fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia)
• 2 medium-sized zucchini, thinly sliced
• 2 medium-sized carrots, julienned
• 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 lemon, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 fresh thyme sprigs
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 4 sheets parchment paper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Prepare the parchment paper by cutting 4 large sheets (about 15x12 inches each).

Step 3

In a bowl, toss the zucchini, carrots, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper together.

Step 4

Lay out one sheet of parchment paper on your work surface. Place a fish fillet in the center of the sheet.

Step 5

Top the fish with a portion of the vegetable mixture, ensuring an even distribution. Place 2-3 slices of lemon on top of the vegetables and a sprig of thyme.

Step 6

Fold the parchment paper: Bring the long edges together over the fish and fold tightly to seal. Then twist and fold the shorter edges to create a secure packet.

Step 7

Repeat this process for the remaining fish fillets and vegetables.

Step 8

Place the parchment packets onto a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 9

Carefully remove the packets from the oven and place them on serving plates.

Step 10

Let each guest open their packet at the table for an aromatic and flavorful experience. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
