Cooking fish in parchment is one of those techniques that feels fancy but is genuinely forgiving, and the results are absolutely worth it. Each parcel traps steam from the white wine and lemon, gently cooking the cod while the cherry tomatoes and zucchini soften into a light, fragrant sauce right underneath the fillet. Garlic-infused oil, fresh thyme, scallion greens, and parsley layer in brightness and depth without relying on any packaged sauces or sweetened condiments — so you know exactly what's going into your meal. That matters a lot when you're trying to avoid the sneaky sweeteners that show up in bottled marinades, glazes, and even some store-bought seasoning blends. Everything here is whole, real, and straightforward. Opening the puffed parcel at the table releases a cloud of herby, lemony steam that makes the whole thing feel like a restaurant moment, even on a Tuesday night. Serve it with the reserved lemon wedges and you've got a clean, vibrant dinner that genuinely needs nothing else.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Cut four sheets of parchment paper, each about 15 inches long. Fold each sheet in half crosswise to crease the center, then open them flat on a baking sheet.
Arrange a few zucchini rounds in a single layer on one half of each parchment sheet, just off the center crease. Scatter a quarter of the cherry tomatoes over the zucchini on each sheet.
