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.

Fish and vegetable packets are a healthy, delicious, and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for busy weeknights. With a variety of vegetables and seasonings to choose from, you can create endless flavor combinations. Plus, cleanup is a breeze since everything cooks in the packet.
