Delight in the flavors of this easy-to-make baked fish recipe, perfect for a quick and healthy dinner.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking throughout the dish.
Lay out four pieces of heavy-duty foil on a flat surface.
Use enough foil to fully wrap each fish fillet securely.
Place one fish fillet on each piece of foil.
Ensure the fillets are centered on the foil for even cooking.
Sprinkle each fillet with grated Parmesan cheese and cayenne pepper.
Adjust the cayenne pepper to your spice preference.
Top each fillet with sliced zucchini, a pinch of salt, and fresh basil leaves.
Layer the zucchini evenly for consistent cooking.
Add a small pat of butter on top of each fillet.
Butter adds richness and helps keep the fish moist.
Fold the foil over the fish and seal the edges tightly to form a packet.
Ensure the packets are sealed well to trap the steam inside.
Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes.
Check one packet after 12 minutes to see if the fish is cooked through.
Carefully open the packets to release the steam and serve the fish with its toppings.
Serve directly from the foil for a rustic presentation or plate it for a more elegant look.
