Tilapia in Parchment Paper

Ingredients 0/10

Step 1

Combine the butter and basil together until well combined. Scoop the mixture onto a piece of parchment paper and roll it up into a tight log. Pop it in the fridge for at least 4 hours so it firms up.

Step 2

When you’re ready to cook, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Toss the potatoes, squash, and onion together in a bowl.

Step 3

Cut your parchment paper into 15-inch squares, then fold each square in half and trim the edges to create a neat semi-circle. Unfold the paper and pile a handful of the mixed veggies onto one half of each piece.

Step 4

Drizzle about a teaspoon of olive oil over each tilapia fillet and season with salt and pepper. Lay the fillets on top of the veggies, seasoning them again with a bit more salt and pepper. Add a few slices of that basil butter on top, then pour a tablespoon of white wine over each fillet.

Step 5

Fold the empty half of the parchment over the fish and veggies, kind of like closing a quesadilla. Twist the edges to seal everything inside, then place the packets on a baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the tilapia flakes easily with a fork. Be careful when opening the parchment—it’s hot and steamy! Serve right away and enjoy.
