Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°F. Cut out four 12”x13” sheets of parchment or tin foil.
Season fish lightly with salt and pepper and place in center of paper. Top each fillet with onion, garlic, tomatoes, olives and capers. Dust with red pepper flakes and fresh oregano. Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle lemon zest on top.
Fold and seal each packet, tucking in folds to prevent steam from escaping. Lightly brush outside of packets with oil to prevent burning.
Place on a large baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes.
Carefully remove packets to individual serving plates and slit the top of each or let guests open their own. You can also serve this dish by gently sliding the contents from the parchment to plates.
