Ingredients

1/4 cup orange juice
4 teaspoons grated orange zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 tilapia fillets (6 ounces each)
1/2 cup julienned carrot
1/2 cup julienned zucchini

Directions

Preheat oven to 450°. In a small bowl, combine first 5 ingredients; set aside. Cut parchment or heavy-duty foil into four 18x12-in. lengths; place a fish fillet on each. Top with carrot and zucchini; drizzle with orange juice mixture.

Fold parchment over fish. Working from bottom inside corner, fold up about 3/4 in. of the paper and crimp both layers to seal. Repeat, folding edges up and crimping, until a half-moon-shaped packet is formed. Repeat for remaining packets. Place on baking sheets.
Bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Open packets carefully to allow steam to escape.
