3 tilapia fillets (or other white, mild-flavored fish), about 156 grams each
1 zucchini, sliced into 7.6-cm matchsticks
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (if able to tolerate seeds)
1 2.5-cm piece of fennel, sliced thin
2 green onions, sliced thin
2 cloves garlic, sliced thin
1 red bell pepper, sliced into 7.6-cm matchsticks
21 grams loosely packed basil leaves, chopped
½ lemon, juiced
2 TBSP (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
1 TBSP (15 ml) balsamic vinegar, divided*
1 tsp (5 ml) dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, fennel, sliced green onions, garlic, oregano and basil.
- Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the veggies and add a pinch of salt.
- Toss well.
- Pull a square of tin foil about 12x24 inches (30.5x61 cm) out.
- Fold it in half and place one fish fillet in the center.
- Add some vegetables on top and around the fish.
- Drizzle on a little balsamic vinegar and add a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
- Wrap up the foil around the fish and fold in all sides tightly so that no steam escapes. You want a nice, tight little package.
- Repeat with the remaining fish fillets.
- Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until fish has baked through and flakes easily.
- You can check the fish after 15 minutes by unwrapping a tiny corner of the foil and poking a knife or fork inside.
- When done, remove from the oven and unwrap on individual plates.
