Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut four large rectangles of parchment paper (about 15×12 inches each). Fold each in half and crease, then open flat.

On one half of each parchment, arrange a bed of julienned vegetables. Place a fish fillet on top, season with salt and pepper. Top each with a tablespoon of butter, a sprig of thyme and dill, 2–3 lemon slices, and a splash of white wine.

Fold the empty half of parchment over the fish. Starting at one corner, make overlapping folds along the open edges to seal the parcel completely, finishing at the top with a twisted end.

Place the papillotes on baking sheets and bake at 400°F for 15–18 minutes. The papillotes will puff dramatically as steam builds inside. Serve each sealed package on a plate and allow diners to cut or tear open at the table — the burst of aromatic steam is part of the experience.
