1-1 1/2lbs flounder fillets
1 small onion, chopped
1 rib celery, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1/4 lb. chopped fresh mushrooms (or small, 4 oz.can, chopped
1 tbsp. butter
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
lemon wedges for garnish
parchment paper
Optional Sauce:
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 tbsp.fresh or dried dill weed
1 tbsp. red horseradish
2 tbsp. mayonnaise

1
Saute chopped vegetables in a saucepan, using 1/2 T butter, fo about 10 minutes until tender but not too soft. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add some water if needed. Set aside and allow to cool for a few minutes.
2
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut the parchment paper into sheets about 1-square foot in size. Heavy duty foil can substitute.
3
Lay half the fillets on butter-greased paper according to the size of the fillets; each should be a single portion.
4
Spoon the cooled vegetable mixture onto each fillet, dividing it evenly among the portions. Cover each fillet with a second fillet, creating a sort of sandwich. Dot the top with a little more butter, squeeze some lemon juice on top of each fillet. Fold the paper, completely enclosing the fish, sealing it by using a butcher's fold. Tuck the ends under.
5
Place the packets of fish in a glass or other baking dish and cook for about 10-15 minutes, until the paper begins to brown. Place the package directly on the person's dish to allow the diner to open it so the fresh aroma will rise.
6
Serve the sauce on the side.

Enjoy!
