Ingredients
  • 2 large sheets of parchment paper
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes
  • ½ cup carrots, sliced
  • ½ medium russet potato, sliced ⅛ inch thick
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2, 6-oz fillets of wild-caught halibut (or fish of choice)
  • salt and pepper
  • ½ lemon
  • 4 sprigs of thyme (or herb of choice)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Toss tomatoes, carrots, potato, and garlic with 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Distribute the mixture between the papers, placing about two inches lower than the middle.
  4. Pat fish dry and season with salt and pepper. Place fish on top of vegetable mixture.
  5. Drizzle with remaining olive oil.
  6. Juice the lemon over fish and vegetables.
  7. Place thyme on top.
  8. Fold parchment paper over the fish. Crease paper, and press it down all around the fish.
  9. Begin making little triangular folds around the fish. Start at one corner of the folded side and fold little triangles, one over each other, in a half moon shape until you have reached the other side. Tuck ends under.
  10. Place parcels on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
  11. Serve immediately, in the paper, for a pretty presentation. Rip to open.
