Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 Tbsp Better Than Bouillon® Seasoned Lobster Base
2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp minced garlic
¼ cup freshly chopped parsley
4 (6 ounce) cod fillets, thickly sliced
1 green bell pepper, cleaned and cut ¼ inch thick
1 red bell pepper, cleaned and cut ¼ inch thick
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 small zucchini, cut into ¼ inch thick rounds
4 Tbsp butter, divided into four pats
4 (15x15 inch) pieces of parchment paper

Directions

  • 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F.

  • 2

    Add the Lobster Base, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and parsley to a small mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Dredge each piece of cod in the olive oil.

  • 3

    Lay each piece of parchment paper out flat onto the counter or cutting board. Fold the paper in half crosswise. Place a piece of the dredged cod in the middle of the paper leaving enough room to fold the paper over the fish. Divide the vegetables and place directly on the top of each cod fillet. Place 1 Tbsp pat of butter on top of each cod fillet and fold the paper over top of the cod. Roll the edges of paper until fish is sealed inside.

  • 4

    Place the closed packages onto a baking sheet and place directly into the oven. Cook the fish for 12 - 14 minutes.

  • 5

    Carefully remove the pan from the oven and place each cod package onto a dinner plate. Serve immediately.

Substitute Better Than Bouillon® Fish Base for the Lobster Base.
