Make fish in parchment paper parcels for a quick, easy, delicious and kid-friendly seafood dinner.

Ingredients

2 carrots
3 cups snow peas
1 1/2 lbs thin skinless fish fillets, (such as sole or tilapia)
salt
black pepper
2 tsp garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp ginger, very thinly sliced
2 tsp sesame oil
2 green onions

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Lay 4 sheets of parchment paper (about 15 x 15 in. each) on your counter.
Slice carrots thinly and cut snow peas in half on the bias; divide among sheets and spread in a thin layer in the centre. Lay fish fillets in a single layer on top of vegetables. Season fish with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with garlic, ginger, sesame oil and green onions.
Fold parchment paper as if you were wrapping a sandwich, fully enclosing fish and vegetables so that steam and cooking liquid will not escape. Place parchment packages onto a baking sheet and place in the lower third of the oven.
Bake fish for 12 min or until white juices appear and fish is just cooked through.
