Ingredients

  • 2 (4 oz) tilapia fillets, thawed according to package instructions
  • sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 thin lemon slices
  • 8 thin carrot slices
  • 2 sliced rings of bell pepper about 1/4” thick
  • 4 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 2 pats of butter
  • 2 tbsp of white wine, preferably Chardonnay
  • 2 sheets of parchment paper (about 15” in length by 11 1/2” wide, folded in half lengthwise; or use precut cooking baking sheets)

To make

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 F. Place parchment paper onto a baking sheet; place the fish near the folded crease and sprinkle both sides with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Top each fillet with 2 slices of lemon, 4 carrot slices, 1 bell pepper ring, zucchini sticks, 2 sprigs of thyme, a pat of butter, and 1 tbsp of the white wine. Fold the other half of the parchment over the top. Crimp and fold tightly to seal the packets into a half-moon shape. Bake for 12 minutes or until fish reaches internal temperature of 145 F. Transfer parchment packets to 4 plates and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

Serve with salad, roasted or boiled potatoes, or rice pilaf.
