Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Vegetables

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Trim the ends of the green beans and slice the zucchini and yellow squash into thin rounds.

  2. 2

    Prepare Halibut

    Lay out four sheets of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Place one halibut fillet in the center of each sheet. Season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Assemble Papillote

    Top each fillet with a handful of green beans, zucchini, and yellow squash. Drizzle with olive oil and squeeze fresh lemon juice over each portion.

  4. 4

    Seal the Pouches

    Fold the parchment paper over the fish and vegetables, then crimp the edges to seal. Make sure there are no gaps for steam to escape.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the halibut is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Carefully unwrap the papillote at the table for a dramatic presentation. Enjoy with a drizzle of lemon beurre blanc if desired.
