Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large zucchini
  • 2 medium sized carrots
  • 1 small red onion
  • 1 large red bell pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves large
  • 1 T. olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 6 oz. Chilean Sea Bass fillets
  • 4 tsp. Emeril's Bayou Blast seasoning divided
  • 4 lemon slices divided
  • 8 sprigs fresh thyme divided
  • 4 T. butter divided
  • 4 T. white wine divided
  • olive oil for drizzling

Instructions
 

  • Julienne zucchini and carrots using a mandoline or by free hand.
  • Slice the onion and red bell pepper into thin slices
  • Mince garlic cloves with a hand grater
  • Place the veggies in a bowl and add olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Toss to coat.
  • Season fillets with about 1 tsp. of Emeril's Bayou Blast seasoning on all sides.
  • Place fillet on right side of parchment and top with 1/4 of mixed veggies, 1 lemon slice, 2 sprigs of fresh thyme, 1 T. of butter, 1 T. of white wine and a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Fold the left side of the parchment to create a half moon shape and fold & crimp the edges from one side to the other to create a little cooking pouch for the fish. Make sure it's tight as you want all the steam to remain inside. Repeat with remaining three servings.
  • Place all of the pouches on a baking sheet and cook in a 375 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes depending on the thickness of your fillets. Say Grace and enjoy!
