    List of Ingredients




    4 flounder fillets (1 to 1-1/2 lbs. total weight)
    3 Tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
    2 garlic cloves, pressed
    1 Tablespoon minced lemon zest
    4 scallions, cut into 2" lengths and sliced lengthwise (use white & green parts)
    1 Tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
    2 Tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
    salt and freshly ground black pepper
    4 15x12-inch pieces of aluminum foil

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 450° F.

    1. In a small bowl, toss the parsley, lemon zest and garlic together.
    2. Fold the foil in half and crease down the middle. Open it back up. Divide the scallions into fourths and place each bundle on the right side of the fold.
    3. Place the fillets on top of the scallions and top each fish with some of the parsley mixture.
    4. Sprinkle the fish with the lemon juice and dot with the butter.
    5. Fold the left side over the right and fold and crimp all around the packages, sealing tightly.
    6. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for about 8 minutes. The packages should be slightly puffed up.

    To serve:
    Place a packet on each plate and serve.

    Make ahead:
    The fish packets may be made up to 4 hours ahead. Allow to rest at room temperature at least 15 minutes before baking.
