Lime2 limes
Fresh cilantro1 cup packed leaves
Garlic3 cloves
Zucchini1 medium
Red onion1 small
Olive oil2 tbsp
Saltto taste
Black pepperto taste

Method

1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut four pieces of parchment paper, each about 15 inches long, and fold in half to create a crease.

2

Thinly slice zucchini, red onion, garlic, and lime. Mince ginger. Roughly chop cilantro. Pat cod fillets dry with paper towels.

3

Open one parchment fold and arrange half the zucchini and onion slices on one side of the crease. Top with one cod fillet, skin-side down.

4

Sprinkle the fillet with one-quarter of the minced ginger, sliced garlic, and chopped cilantro. Arrange lime slices on top. Season with salt and black pepper. Drizzle with ½ tbsp olive oil.

5

Fold parchment over the filling and tightly seal the edges by folding and crimping the paper border. Repeat with remaining parchment, vegetables, fish, and seasonings to create four packets.

6

Place packets on a large baking sheet. Bake at 400°F for 12–15 minutes, until parchment is lightly browned and the paper puffs slightly from the steam inside.

7

Transfer each packet to a dinner plate. Carefully open by cutting the parchment with scissors, being mindful of the escaping steam. Serve immediately while warm.
