Ingredients
4 (6 ounces each) fresh white fish fillets such as cod1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons capers
12 kalamata olives, pitted and halved
1 lemon cut into 8 slices

- Using scissors and starting at the fold of each piece, cut a large half heart.
- Try to make the heart as large as will fit on the parchment.
- Lay out the four hearts and open them.
- Divide the beans and form a small pile next to, but not on top of, the crease of each heart.
- Place a fish fillet onto each pile of beans.
- Evenly divide the remaining ingredients between the four fish fillets.
- Working towards yourself, fold one half of parchment over fish to meet the edge on the other side.
- Starting at the curve, make small, tight, overlapping folds along outside edge to seal packet together.
- Make the last fold at the tail (pointed end) and tuck it under.
- Place packets on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
- Roast for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and slit tops with a scissors or a knife.
- Serve immediately.
