Method

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare 4 pieces of parchment paper, each about 18 inches long and above twice the width of the fish fillets.

Place 1 piece of parchment on a work surface and place 2 small or 1 large sole fillet in the center, with length of fish parallel to the shorter side of the paper.

Sprinkle fish on both sides with 1/8 teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper.

Top fish with one-fourth of the carrots, yellow squash and zucchini.

Squeeze some lemon juice over top, drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon of the oil and top with a few dill sprigs.

Lift the parchment paper on 2 opposite sides to meet in the middle above fish.

Tightly fold down paper until it reaches fish, crimping to seal.

Roll up and crimp the ends to seal. (Be sure the paper is sealed snugly so that steam won't escape during cooking. Secure folds with toothpicks, if you like.)

Place on a large rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining parchment and ingredients.

Bake until vegetables feel somewhat tender when you press lightly on packets, about 15 minutes.

Let packets cool on the baking sheet 2 minutes.

One at a time, lift them up, cut off one short end with scissors and tilt so fish, vegetables and juices slide onto a plate.
