Herbed Sea Bass in Parchment

• Parchment paper
• 4 6-ounce sea bass or striped bass fillets
• Kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 8 sprigs of fresh lemon thyme or thyme
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided into 4 equal pieces

1. Preheat the oven to 450F.
2. Cut four 15-inch squares of parchment.
3. Lay a fillet just below the center of one parchment square.
4. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and lay 2 lemon thyme sprigs and a pat of butter on top.
5. Fold the top half of the parchment down so that the edges meet.
6. Fold the three open sides several times to create tightly sealed pouches.
7. Place the packet on a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining fillets.
8. Bake until just cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes, depending on the fillets thickness.
9. Remember that the fish will continue to cook a little more after its removed from the oven.
