- Drizzle each fillet with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and top with cut vegetables, citrus slices, and fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Fold the other side of the heart-shaped paper. Fold and crimp the rounded edge first and continue folding and crimping until the whole pocket is tightly closed.
- Place fillet pockets on the baking sheet and spray with cooking spray.
