  4. Depending on the age of the child supervise while they chop vegetables above as directed.
  5. Fold a large piece of parchment paper in half (you want it to be big enough to fit the fish and vegetables) and cut a half heart shape to make the papillote (pouch) which the fish and vegetables will cook in.
  6. On the bottom of a heart shaped piece of parchment paper layer potatoes, then leeks, then carrots sliced tomatoes and artichokes and top with fish. Repeat for each portion.
  7. Sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper on top of each piece of fish.
  8. Squeeze a little bit of lemon juice on top of each pile and a little drizzle of olive oil. Top with one sprig of thyme.
  9. Fold edges of parchment in to make a sealed pouch.
  10. (Adult or older child) Bake on middle rack for 15 - 20 minutes at 350°F.
Tip
  1. You can alternate some vegetables and include celery, zucchini, onion or even parsnips! Customize your pouch to what you want! You can spice it up by adding some curry powder or using fresh dill instead of thyme.
  2. The pouch can be prepared the night before for easy dinner service the next day!
