Summary

If you’re not sure how to start cooking fish, try a simple and delicious method like this packet. It’s full of fresh flavors from lemon, orange and dill. Sealing the fish in a parchment paper pouch steams it to perfection and infuses the fish with flavor from the citrus and herbs. If you don't have parchment paper, aluminum foil will also work. We used mahi-mahi, but you could make this recipe with any type of fish filet.
