Sliced the veggies in the slicer vs. julienned. They were thinly sliced and cooked perfectly. The timing on cooking fish was great (have a convection oven. My husband usually does not like fish, and he loved it... when we opened up our packages the smell of the butter, white wine and the fresh thyme rose up in a puff of steam. It looked, smelled and tasted great. Even my 15 and 11 year old loved the fish. Oh, and I took a stapler to keep the packages sealed couldn't get it the other way. It worked!

OMG, my cod came out fantastic. I used red onion, carrot, celery, shitake mushrooms, lemon, white wine, garlic and fresh thyme along with salt and pepper on the fish and the veggies. Baked at 400 for 15minutes. Wow, was this not the best fish I ever made en papillote!!

Outstanding! Great flavor from the veggies! All you need is some good bread and white wine to enjoy with this dish!

This was my first try at a Melissa d'Arabian recipe and I am really pleased. I followed the other reviews and cooked the fish for 15 minutes. I did 1.5 lbs and it made 6 pouches. I used more of the spices than she suggested. I would still use even more - adding some dry herbs with the fresh and maybe some lemon zest as well. I think this was a great way to try out this technique and I feel like I can do a lot of different recipes now that I know how to steam in bag. My husband loved it. Good luck!

This was really good! My husband even liked it and he doesn't usually like anything unless he cooks it. I didn't put any salt on the fish which I think needed to be sprinkled on prior to putting the vegetables on & cooking - don't remember if it was called for or not, but other than that it was great! I used pollock which I hadn't had before. My 12 yr. old liked the fish, the vegetables were another matter, but that's nothing new. I would recommend this - it's easy & delicious!

My hubby & I really enjoyed this recipe! I agree with posters who said it takes longer than the recipe states to cook ... I used tilapia, & it needed a good 15-16 min. in the oven, not 12.
Changes I made:
I left out the onion; we're not big onion fans.
I used garlic powder, rather than fresh.
I used dried thyme, not fresh.
I subbed margarine for the butter... and next time, I'll add a little more. The margarine melted down so it was concentrated in the middle of the fish... and it was the yummiest part!
Rather than wine, I used apple juice since that's what I had on hand & didn't want to open an entire container of vegetable stock since I needed such a small amount.
I used wax paper instead of parchment.
This is pretty easy to make. The most time-consuming part is julienning the veggies. But it's so yummy, I'll definitely be making it again!

This is a great recipe though it needs to be cooked at 375* for 18-20 minutes. I used wapoo and my veggies were pole beans, carrots and red onion. I didn't have fresh thyme so I sprinkled dry thyme on the fish before putting the veggies on top. I used fresh oregano from my garden and used a garlic and chive butter I had made earlier in the week for corn on the cobb. These flavors were fantastic! Don't pile your veggies too high on the fish or you risk the center not getting all the way cooked.

This was an ideal preparation for the tilapia I purchased yesterday at Safeway for $2.99 a pound. I followed Melissa's recipe exactly (except for using aluminum foil in place of parchment paper and then served the packets alongside boiled Yukon Gold creamers. I loved the meal so much that I'm thinking of serving it again tonight.

Delicious and easier to make than it may seem. I have used halibut, tilapia and sole. You definitely have to be aware of the quality of your ingredients and adjust time depending on the fish you use.

@ KImmymac - I think your CRAZY!! First of all, if it tasted "fishy" then you used the wrong kind of fish or fish that wasn't fresh. I have not liked fish since my childhood which was 20+ years ago. This was the first recipe I tried since trying to get back in to eating fish and to this day, it is the ONLY way I will eat fish. Coming from a fish hater - it is excellent! However, I like everything cooked very, very well,so I cooked it for 30 minutes and that time was to my liking. It's so yummy, I love the wine flavour! It's definatley not a "fishy" sauce.
