Ingredients

  • 6 ounces fresh flounder or other flaky white fish
  • 1/3 cup diced fresh tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup leeks – sliced in half moon shape
  • 1/2 cup seafood stock or chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup julienne zucchini
  • 1/2 cup julienne summer squash
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dill
  • 1 lemon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • butter flavored cooking spray
  • parchment paper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°. Place stock in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil. Add leeks, lower heat and cook until leeks are tender.

Fold parchment paper in half from its width. From one corner of the fold, using scissors or a sharp knife cut a half circle or “heart” shape, trimming the outer open corners off the folded parchment. Open the parchment paper and lightly spray the both sides of the fold with cooking spray

Blend zucchini and summer squash together place on the center of the right side of the fold. Season with salt and pepper.

Place fish fillet on top of the squash. Season with salt and pepper. Place leeks then tomato on top of the fish.

Sprinkle with lemon thyme and dill. Squeeze 1/2 a lemon over the fish.

Fold one side of parchment over, covering the fish. Starting at one corner, fold parchment and make a crease, fold it again and make another crease, continue to do this until you reach the other corner. Fold or twist the end to create a seal in order to trap the steam within the parchment while cooking.

Place sealed fish on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes. You will notice the parchment balloon with steam as it cooks. Remove from oven and carefully open by, simply cut ting the top of the paper with scissors or a sharp knife. Serve immediately.
