Equipment

8 oz All-Purpose Greek Seasoning

Ingredients

2 four-to-six ounce firm white fish fillets tilapia, snapper, cod
1 lemon sliced
2 teaspoons Greek seasoning spice mix
1 small red onion sliced
1/2 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes
1/2 cup halved pitted kalamata olives
4 sprigs fresh oregano
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
Divide the red onion slices between two large squares of parchment paper, placing them on the right half of each square with one inch of space between the onions and the edge of the paper.
Place each fish fillet on top of the onions. Season each fillet with one teaspoon of Greek seasoning spice mix and drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil.
Lay half of the lemon slices over each piece of fish, then arrange the tomatoes and olives around the outside of the fillets. Place two sprigs of fresh oregano over the top of each piece of fish.
Fold the left side of each piece of parchment over the top of the fish. Fold the parchment paper together around the edges in 1/4-inch folds to create a half-moon shape. Make sure to press as you crimp and fold to seal the packets well, otherwise, the steam will escape. Arrange the packets on a baking sheet. Bake until the fish is cooked through, about 8 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish.
Let cool for three to five minutes. Serve by placing the sealed packets on individual plates, and allowing guests to open them at the table.

Notes

To store Greek Fish en Papillote leftovers, allow the packets to cool completely. Then, refrigerate them in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

To reheat, place the unopened packets on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through.
