• Cut yellow squash into julienned strips and divide among parchment rectangles, mounding on one side of the fold. Season with salt and pepper. Lay a piece of halibut on top of each pile of squash. Divide the cherry tomatoes (sliced in half, if large) and olives between the four piles and top each pile with thyme. Drizzle each with oil.

To serve, place each packet on a plate and cut open with kitchen shears at the table, being careful not to burn yourself when the steam escapes.
