Ingredients
- 4 halibut fillets (8 ounces each)
- 4 sheets of parchment paper (12x28 inches)
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
- 8 ounces button mushrooms, quartered
- 8 ounces red bell pepper, julienned

Preparation
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Place a halibut fillet onto one side of a parchment paper sheet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with 2 ounces of each vegetable for a total of 8 ounces of veggies. Fold the other half of the parchment over and crimp the open side from one end to the other, working clockwise, to create a sealed pouch, or "papillote." Repeat for each fillet.
Bake papillotes for 10–12 minutes or until a probe thermometer placed into the thickest part of the fillet reads 145°F.
Place packet on plate, tear open top and serve immediately.
