Description

We decided to give parchment-baked fish a shot. This recipe is loosely inspired by a favorite restaurant of ours in Mexico. At the resort we stay at in Cancun there is a restaurant called Bugambilias. I can’t remember what I ordered but I do remember that Kara always ordered Shrimp Veracruzana. This is our version of her favorite.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Zucchini, Thinly Sliced
  • 1 whole Yellow Squash, Thinly Sliced
  • 4 pieces Tilapia
  • 4 Tablespoons Capers
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
  • 1 cup Green Olives
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • Handful Fresh Cilantro, Chopped

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lay 4 squares of parchment out on your counter. On the bottom half of each piece of parchment paper, place 2 rows (7 pieces in each line) of zucchini and squash slices, overlapping ans alternating between the zucchini and squash. Top the zucchini and squash rows with tilapia. Add ¼ tablespoon of capers and a handful of tomatoes and olives atop each piece of fish. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Fold the parchment paper in half and fold the edges over to secure shut, like little packets. Place each packet on a baking sheet and cook for 20 minutes.

After the fish is cooked, top with chopped fresh cilantro and serve.
