Ingredients

6 servings

•

1 stick unsalted butter, softened
•

1 tablespoon basil pesto
•

7 sheets parchment paper
•

2 medium red potatoes, cut into thin strips
•

1 yellow squash, cut into thin strips

•

1 yellow onion, diced
•

2 tablespoons olive oil
•

6 tilapia fillets
•

1 pinch sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
•

6 tablespoons white wine

Instructions

Mix butter and basil together until evenly combined. Spoon onto a piece of parchment paper and roll up tightly into a log. Refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Mix potatoes, squash, and onion together.
Cut each parchment paper sheet into a 15-inch square. Fold in half and trim edges to make a semi-circle. Unfold and place a handful of mixed vegetables on one half of each circle.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil over each tilapia fillet; season with salt and pepper. Position fillets over the vegetables and season with more salt and pepper. Place a couple slices of pesto butter and 1 tablespoon white wine over each fillet.
Fold empty half of parchment paper over the tilapia and vegetables, like a quesadilla. Twist the edges of the semi-circle to seal. Transfer to a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until tilapia flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes. Open parchment paper carefully and serve.
