    In large bowl mix carrot, leeks, zucchini, peppers, shallots, garlic, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs.

  3. 3

    Fold each sheet of parchment paper in half. Starting at folded edge, cut into half of heart shape (when fold is open it should be full heart shape).

  4. 4

    Place 1 filet on one half of each of 4 parchment “hearts.” Divide vegetable mixture into 4 even portions, placing one portion atop each fish filet. Add 1 tablespoon wine or stock and 1 tablespoon olive atop each vegetable stack.

  5. 5

    Seal papillotes by folding over edges of packet and crimping edges tight. Place each papillote on sheet pan and in oven for 10 minutes (depending how cold ingredients are) or until parchment is puffed and turning golden brown on top.
