Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep the fennel, lemon, and fish
Heat the oven to 375°F.
- Cut the fennel lengthwise into quarters and cut away the core; thinly slice the quarters lengthwise.
- Cut half the lemon into thin rounds; juice the remaining half. [Cut 1 lemon into thin rounds; juice the remaining lemon.] Set aside the juice for the dressing.
- Pat the fish dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.
2
Assemble the parchment packets
Lay the parchment paper sheets side by side. Divide the fennel and half the lemon rounds between the 2 sheets; season lightly with salt and pepper. Top with the fish and remaining lemon rounds; drizzle each with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil.
Working with 1 sheet at a time, bring 2 opposite sides of the parchment to the center and fold them together several times to create a tight seam. Fold up each end to form a tight seal.
3
Bake the packets
Place the packets on a sheet pan, sealed sides up, and bake until the parchment is puffed and browned and the fish is tender when pierced with a skewer or sharp knife, 18 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the zucchini and dressing.
4
Prep and cook the zucchini
- Cut the zucchini on the diagonal into ¼-inch-thick slices.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, arrange the zucchini in a single layer, season with salt and pepper, and cook, turning once, until lightly browned and starting to soften, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add more oil between batches if needed. While the zucchini is cooking, prepare the lemon-dill dressing.
5
Make the lemon-dill dressing
- Coarsely chop the dill.
In a small bowl, stir together the lemon juice, dill, and 1 to 2 tablespoons oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Open the fish packets, being careful of any venting steam, and transfer to individual plates. Drizzle the fish with the lemon-dill dressing. Arrange the zucchini alongside, top with as much chermoula as you like, and serve any remaining chermoula on the side.
