I actually forgot to add the butter and didn't even notice! For my veggies, I threw in broccoli slaw and sliced zucchini. So good and SO easy and so versatile.

Tilapia Parchment Pockets

4 (5-oz.) fresh tilapia fillets
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 lemons, sliced
1/4 cup shredded carrot
2 tablespoons fresh dill
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
2 tablespoons butter

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 375°. Sprinkle fillets with salt and pepper.
2. Cut parchment paper into 4 (13- x 9-inch) rectangles. Place 3 lemon slices crosswise in center of 1 parchment rectangle. Top with 1 fillet. Repeat with remaining lemon slices, fillets, and parchment paper rectangles. Sprinkle fillets evenly with carrot, dill, and parsley. Top each fillet with 1/2 Tbsp. butter. Fold 1 side of parchment paper over fillets; tuck excess parchment under fillets, pressing folds to form a crease.
3. Bake at 375° for 20 to 25 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork. Serve immediately.

    I LOVE tilapia - every way shape and form! Yum! I think it's one of the easiest things to make and it's so low in fat and calories. My kids gobbled this up tonight - huge plus points!

    Buy it frozen - just as good! I buy it bulk frozen and individually wrapped and then just drop it in a bowl (still wrapped) of warm water and then cook it. Easy Peasy.
