Fish in Foil with Zucchini Ribbons
- 2 small carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks
- 1 zucchini, cut into matchsticks
- 1 yellow squash, cut into matchsticks
- 16 white mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Four 6- to 7-ounce red snapper fillets
- 2 ripe tomatoes, cored and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Lay 4 pieces of aluminum foil on the counter, each approximately 14 x 12 inches.
- Distribute the carrot, zucchini, and yellow squash matchsticks near the centers of each piece of foil.
- Scatter the sliced mushrooms and garlic over the vegetables.
- Generously season with salt and pepper.
- Season each snapper fillet with salt and pepper and put one on top of each pile of vegetables.
- Place 3 slices of tomato on each fillet.
- Drizzle each portion with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with thyme.
- Bring the 2 longer sides of the foil together over the fish and seal the edges by folding them over, as you would wrap a sandwich or fold a letter.
- Tuck the sides in, folding them together once or twice to form an airtight seal.
- Make sure there is some room for air to circulate in the packets and that theyre not bursting at the seams.
- Transfer the packets to 2 baking pans large enough to hold them in a single layer or a rimmed baking sheet and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Check one packet by unwrapping it very carefully; the escaping steam will be hot.
- Put a packet on each plate and warn everyone to open them with great care because the steam is very hot.
- Or, open them before serving, transferring the contents to individual shallow bowls or a serving platter.
