4. Fold paper; seal edges with narrow folds. Repeat with the remaining parchment paper, fish, and vegetables.

5. Place packets on baking sheets. Bake at 450° for 15 minutes or until puffy and lightly browned.

Or serve right in packets; carefully transfer to plates and pierce each to allow steam to escape.
