The recipe I used said to sear the fish first, but I don't think this step is necessary. Next time I'm going to try just baking it in the parchment. The mushrooms really made the dish, but I think it would be good with a few other veggies as well.
1/2 lb sliced mushrooms
5 cloves garlic, slivered
2 fillets tilapia (or other white fish)
6 sprigs fresh thyme
1 dash chopped thyme
1 Tbsp butter
1) Sautee mushrooms in olive oil until soft
2) Add slivered garlic, salt and pepper, and a dash of thyme
3) Sear fillets in butter in a hot skillet.
4) Cut two 12 x 20 inch pieces of parchment paper. Fold in half and cut into large Valentine's-style hearts. Open up and brush one half of each heart with vegetable oil. Divide sauteed mushrooms onto non-oiled half and place fillets on top.
5) Fold the oiled parchment side on top. Beginning from the curve of the "heart", fold a 1/4 inch seam around the parchment, closing it off into a bag, but stopping 1/4 inch from the point. Repeat folding, to make bag airtight. Insert a straw into the open portion and blow to inflate the bags. Then fold the tip to trap air. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes and serve.
