Sealing the bag:
Place one sheet of the parchment, sprayed side down on top of each piece of the tilapia.
Crimp the two sheets of parchment paper like a piecrust until the bottom and the top are completely sealed.

Cooking:
Place the bags of tilapia onto a cookie sheet and cook in a 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 140-150 degrees.
Place the bag onto a plate and slice the parchment open at the table to enjoy.

Notes:
1. Cooking fish in a parchment bag results in a moist, flaky fish. This dish is great not only because it’s light but because it is simple to put together.
2. Other fresh fish species that work well with this dish includes Snapper, Grouper, Salmon, Halibut, Red Rockfish and Wahoo.
