Fish in Parchment Paper

This is a really simple, but flavorful, as well as healthy recipe to prepare fish. The fish fillet is seasoned and layed across lemon slices; top side covered in garlic and dill. It is then wrapped up in parchment paper, creating a little package for the fish to steam in. This only takes 15 minutes to bake in the oven. If you want to make this fish a little less healthy, add a 1/2 tbsp of butter to the fish before baking. Serve with Persian dill rice.
