Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Cut parchment paper into large heart shapes for each fish fillet.

Drizzle olive oil on one half of each parchment heart.

Place fish fillets on the oiled side of the parchment.

Season the fish with salt and black pepper.

Add minced garlic and fresh herbs on top of the fish.

Arrange sliced vegetables around the fish.

Squeeze lemon juice over the fish and vegetables.

Fold the parchment over the fish and crimp the edges to seal tightly.

Place the parchment packets on a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until fish is cooked through.

Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before opening packets.

Carefully open the parchment packets to avoid steam.

Serve directly from the parchment for a rustic presentation.
