How to Make Low Fat Cajun Style Fish In Parchment Delish

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut four 12-inch squares of parchment paper.
  3. Place 1/4 cup of chopped vegetables (bell peppers, onions, etc.) in the center of each parchment square.
  4. Top each vegetable bed with one 4-ounce (113g) fillet of white fish (cod, tilapia, or snapper).
  5. Sprinkle each fillet with 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning (ensure low salt!).
  6. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over each fish fillet.
  7. Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to each packet.
  8. Fold the parchment paper over the fish and vegetables, forming a sealed packet (fold the edges tightly to ensure no steam escapes).
  9. Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  10. Carefully open the parchment packets to release steam (be cautious of hot steam!).
  11. Serve immediately with rice pilaf and your choice of green vegetable or spinach salad.
