Time 4h55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon basil pesto
7 sheets parchment paper
2 medium red potatoes, cut into thin strips
1 yellow squash, cut into thin strips
1 yellow onion, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 tilapia fillets
1 pinch sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
6 tablespoons white wine

Steps:

  • Mix butter and basil together until evenly combined. Spoon onto a piece of parchment paper and roll up tightly into a log. Refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Mix potatoes, squash, and onion together.
  • Cut each parchment paper sheet into a 15-inch square. Fold in half and trim edges to make a semi-circle. Unfold and place a handful of mixed vegetables on one half of each circle.
  • Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil over each tilapia fillet; season with salt and pepper. Position fillets over the vegetables and season with more salt and pepper. Place a couple slices of pesto butter and 1 tablespoon white wine over each fillet.
  • Fold empty half of parchment paper over the tilapia and vegetables, like a quesadilla. Twist the edges of the semi-circle to seal. Transfer to a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tilapia flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes. Open parchment paper carefully and serve.

This recipe was a disappointment. The fish was dry and the vegetables were mushy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my fish was overcooked. I think I'll cook it for a shorter amount of time next time.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I would add some more spices or herbs next time.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The tilapia was flaky and moist, and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. I loved the ease of cooking everything in one packet, and the cleanup was a breeze.
