Parchment Roasted Tilapia

Chef Matt Edwards shares a great recipe and explains how to use parchment paper to cook tilapia!  I am often looking for new protein options and this is a very easy recipe to help switch things up.

Ingredients:
4 tilapia filets (or other mild white fish)
2 Tlbs butter (substitute olive oil to avoid dairy)
Zest of one lemon, remaining lemon thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
4 sprigs fresh dill
salt and pepper
parchment paper


Directions:
Tear four large squares of parchment paper and place a filet of fish on each sheet. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, then dot with butter. Sprinkle with lemon zest and garlic, then place dill sprigs and lemon slices over fish. Fold parchment over fish and working from one side to the other seal paper tightly to form envelope. Place on sheet pan and roast at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Serve with sauteed sliced squash or grilled vegetables.


Alternatively, place a sheet of foil on grill and place envelopes onto foil. Grill over high heat for 15 minutes, until fish just flakes apart.
