Ingredients

4 servings

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature

2 tablespoons finely chopped tender herbs (such as cilantro, chives, and/or parsley)

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more

1 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed

1 pint cherry tomatoes (about 2 1/2 cups), quartered

2 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced

4 (1/2"-thick) skinless flounder or tilapia fillets (about 6 ounces each)

1/4 cup coarsely chopped basil

Special Equipment

4 (16x12") sheets parchment paper

Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix butter, herbs, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a small bowl.
Step 2
Fold parchment sheets in half and use scissors to cut halves into 4 large hearts. Unfold and place parchment hearts open on a work surface. Spoon 1 Tbsp. herb butter in the center of one half of each heart, then divide snap peas, tomatoes, and garlic evenly into small piles over butter. Lay fish over vegetables, then top with 1 Tbsp. herb butter; season each with 1/8 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper. Fold parchment over and crimp edges tightly to form a sealed packet.
Step 3
Transfer packets to 2 large rimmed baking sheets, arranging in a single layer. Bake until just cooked through and a tester inserted through parchment slides through fish easily, about 13 minutes. Carefully cut open packets (steam will escape). Top with basil.
Do Ahead
Step 4
Butter can be made 3 days ahead; cover and chill. Fish packets can be assembled 4 hours ahead; chill. Let sit at room temperature 15 minutes before cooking.

This was super simple and tasty. I forgot the garlic and it was still amazing! My oven is “slow” so I set it to 410 and it wasn’t cooked at 20 minutes. Increased the temp to 450 and gave it 5 extra minutes. Used salmon. Will try with pickerel next time and cook it in foil on the bbq.

I make these all the time for dinners. You can make and store in fridge till a half hour before dinner and bake. Always impresses.

This was terrific, pretty, and good enough for company. So fresh and a great way to use up an abundance of cherry tomatoes! However, I substituted lightly steamed green beans for the snap peas since the peas weren't available, and I used wild salmon. Other than that, I followed the list of ingredients, although I cut a corner and didn't make paper hearts. This shortcut allowed me to fold each rectangle of parchment over the ingredients and then fold the ends under. I'll be making this again!

Delicious!!! But why parchment paper? This was so tasty!!! The ingredients were very easy to put together. I used halibut. My fillets were about 8 oz and it took closer to 18 minutes to cook. I'm sure I'm missing something, but why use parchment paper and not aluminum foil for the packets? I couldn't get my parchment to seal. Foil would have been easier.

This was absolutely amazing, and it was fun making the paper hearts : ) I put it on leftover couscous to soak up all that wonderful buttery goodness. Would make again in a heartbeat.
