Prep: 15 min., Bake: 25 min. Aluminum foil can be substituted for parchment paper.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Yield: Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4  (5-oz.) fresh tilapia fillets
  • 1  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/2  teaspoon  pepper
  • 2  lemons, sliced
  • 1/4  cup  shredded carrot
  • 2  tablespoons  fresh dill
  • 2  tablespoons  fresh parsley
  • 2  tablespoons  butter

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 375°. Sprinkle fillets with salt and pepper.

2. Cut parchment paper into 4 (13- x 9-inch) rectangles. Place 3 lemon slices crosswise in center of 1 parchment rectangle. Top with 1 fillet. Repeat with remaining lemon slices, fillets, and parchment paper rectangles. Sprinkle fillets evenly with carrot, dill, and parsley. Top each fillet with 1/2 Tbsp. butter. Fold 1 side of parchment paper over fillets; tuck excess parchment under fillets, pressing folds to form a crease.

3. Bake at 375° for 20 to 25 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork. Serve immediately.

Great dish! I've made it a few times and it's delicious every time. Also have made it with red snapper and halibut.08/11/09

Soooo good! Flavorful and very moist. Loved it. I served this with sauteed spinach and Greek Style Lemon Potatoes (also wonderful). I will make this again!05/08/09
