Baked Tilapia With Herb Butter

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon or 2 tablespoons basil
• 8 ounces sliced mixed mushrooms (about 4 cups)
• 4 stalks celery, sliced on the diagonnal
• 1 bunch scallion, sliced
• kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
• 24 ounces tilapia fillets

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a small bowl, mix the butter and tarragon or basil until combined; set aside.
3. Lay out 4 large pieces of foil.
4. Layer the vegetables in the center of each piece of foil, starting with the mushrooms, then the celery and scallions (this is where I then added the slivered onions, pea pods sliced and minced garlic).
5. Dot the vegetables with some of the herb butter (use about half) and season each portion with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.
6. Lay the tilapia fillets over the vegetables; dot with the remaining herb butter.
7. Sprinkle each fillet with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.
8. Bring the foil ends together, fold over and crimp closed on all sides to make sealed packets.
9. Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake until the fish is cooked through but still moist, 18-22 minutes.
10. Remove the packets from the oven and let sit 2 minutes before opening.
11. Transfer the fish and vegetables to plates and drizzle with the cooking juices.
