Ingredients:
1 whole head of garlic
1 cup olive oil

Divide the vegetables evenly among four 8 by 8-inch sheets of parchment paper. Season the bass with salt and pepper, place one portion on top of the vegetables and fold the parchment together.Wrap each parchment "package" in an 8 by 8-inch square of aluminum
foil and place on the grill. Then grill for 10 minutes or until the fish is opaque. Remove from the heat and allow it to rest for 2 minutes before serving.
