   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

   In a small bowl, mix the butter and tarragon or basil until combined; set aside.

3. 3

   Lay out 4 large pieces of foil.

4. 4

   Layer the vegetables in the center of each piece of foil, starting with the mushrooms, then the celery and scallions (this is where I then added the slivered onions, pea pods sliced and minced garlic).

5. 5

   Dot the vegetables with some of the herb butter (use about half) and season each portion with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Lay the tilapia fillets over the vegetables; dot with the remaining herb butter.

7. 7

   Sprinkle each fillet with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.

8. 8

   Bring the foil ends together, fold over and crimp closed on all sides to make sealed packets.

   Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake until the fish is cooked through but still moist, 18-22 minutes.

10. 10

    Remove the packets from the oven and let sit 2 minutes before opening.

    Transfer the fish and vegetables to plates and drizzle with the cooking juices.
