A meal all wrapped up in a little packet makes for easy and mess-free cooking and easy serving.

  • Place margarine in a one-quart casserole dish. Microwave on high until melted, about 20 seconds.

  • Add red pepper, carrots, broccoli, and garlic to casserole. Stir to combine ingredients. Cover and microwave on high until just crisp-tender, 2–3 minutes. Set aside.

  • Cut four 16″ × 12″ pieces of parchment paper. Then cut each into a large heart shape. Fold heart in half and then open flat.

  • Place a fillet along center fold on each sheet of paper. Sprinkle fillets with lemon juice, paprika, and pepper. Top each fillet with equal amounts of vegetable mixture. Fold paper edges over to seal securely.

  • Place two pouches on a microwave-safe 12″ platter. Microwave at high for 3–4 minutes; set aside and keep warm. Repeat process and serve.
