• Freshly-ground black pepper to taste
• FISH IN A BAG:
• 4 sheets parchment paper
• Butter melted
• 2 cups Vegetable Mix from above
• 8 strips fresh skinless fish - (2 1/2 oz ea)
• Old Bay or Seafood seasoning
• 4 lemon wheels/ 1/4"-thick
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme

Preparation

Step 1

Vegetable Mix: Mix vegetables and season with salt and pepper or Mrs. Dash vegetable seasoning.

Fish In A Bag: Fold parchment paper in half short ways and crease. Unfold parchment paper and brush completely with melted butter to the edges. Place 1/2 cup vegetable mix in the center of the right half.

Brush melted butter on two 2.5-ounce fresh fish filets and shake on a generous coating of Old Bay or Seafood seasoning. Place seasoned fish 1/2-inch apart on top of vegetable mix to allow for even cooking. Place one lemon wheel and one sprig of thyme on fish.

Fold the left side of the parchment paper over the right side. Crimp paper (like a pie crust) until bottom and top of the paper are completely sealed. Brush top of parchment paper with melted butter to the edges to prevent bag from burning when cooked. Repeat for each serving.

Place bags on a greased cookie sheet with an inverted buttered pie pan over each (to prevent paper from burning). Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
