• 4 6-8 oz cod fillets
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 2-3 tbsp butter
• 2-3 cloves garlic (zested)
• 4 slices fresh lemon
• 1/2 medium red bell pepper (thinly julienned)

• 1/2 medium carrot (thinly julienned)
• 12 cherry tomatoes (sliced in half)
• 2 green onions (chopped)
• 4 tsp chopped fresh dill
• 4 tsp chopped fresh parsley
• 4 tsp dry sherry

Preparazione

1. 1

   Cut the lemon, carrot, bell peppers, and tomatoes. Then chop the green onion, dill, and parsley.

2. 2

   Cut 4 (15 x 15) inch pieces of parchment paper and fold each in half just to make a crease. Then place thin slice of butter on the bottom half.

3. 3

   Place the cod fillet on top of the butter and season it with salt and pepper. Then spread about 1/4 tsp zested garlic on the fish.

4. 4

   Add 1 slice of lemon on top and begin adding a thin layer of bell peppers, carrots, cherry tomato halves, green onion, dill, and parsley.

5. 5

   Add another thin slice of butter and 1 tbsp of dry cherry on top each cod fillet.

6. 6

   Fold the parchment paper back over and begin making small folds along the edge so that you end up with a half circle.

7. 7

   Once all of the fillets are tightly folded into the parchment paper, place them onto a baking sheet and bake in a 390 degree oven for 10-12 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the fillet.
