How to Make Citrus Mahi-Mahi Packet with Broccoli
If you’re not sure how to start cooking fish, try a simple and delicious method like this packet. It’s full of fresh flavors from lemon, orange and dill. Sealing the fish in a parchment paper pouch steams it to perfection and infuses the fish with flavor from the citrus and herbs. If you don't have parchment paper, aluminum foil will also work. We used mahi-mahi, but you could make this recipe with any type of fish filet.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 425° F. Place two pieces parchment paper on a baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, pepper and dill.
- Place a few lemon and orange slices on center of parchment papers. Place fish fillets on top of orange and lemon slices. Drizzle lemon sauce evenly over fish fillets. Top fish with remaining orange and lemon slices. Fold over the top of the parchment paper, then roll the sides in to form a sealed pouch.
- Place packets on baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes or until done.
- While fish is baking, steam broccoli for 5-6 minutes.
- Serve fish packet with steamed broccoli. Be cautious when opening fish packet, as steam may be hot.
