Place 1 fish fillet in center of each. Sprinkle fish lightly with salt and pepper and a sprinkle of lemon juice. Spread each fillet with 1 tablespoon pesto mixture. Top each fillet with asparagus, tomatoes and squash, then dollop with remaining pesto mixture. Fold sides of foil over fish and vegetables, covering completely; seal packets closed.
