    This turned out very well. Will make again! I made a few minor adjustments:

    - baked in foil packets instead of parchment paper
    - added broccoli slaw on top of the carrots & snap peas
    - added a lemon slice on each fillet before seasoning
    - 15 minutes wasn't enough; baked for 25 minutes - 2/14/09

    Very good. Be careful with the lemon juice. A little bit goes a long way. - 1/27/08
