Tips
- Choose firm fish fillets: Fish like cod, salmon, or halibut hold up well in the roasting process and won't fall apart.
- Prep your vegetables: Cut vegetables into uniform sizes so they cook evenly. Vegetables like broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers work well.
- Use flavorful seasonings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs, spices, and citrus. Lemon, garlic, and thyme are classic pairings for fish.
- Fold the parchment paper or foil securely: Make sure the packets are sealed tightly to prevent the juices from escaping. You can use a double layer of parchment paper or foil for extra durability.
- Cook at the right temperature: The cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fish fillets and the vegetables. As a general rule, cook the packets at 400°F for 15-20 minutes.
