dining in: light and tasty fish in foil
After eating, eating and more eating over the Holidays, I have been craving light and fresh meals, which means I have been eating salads. A lot of salads. To change it up a bit, I made fish in foil.
The original recipe (sorry, not sure what magazine it came from) calls for halibut and was cooked on a grill, well, it was a bit late and rather chilly outside, so in the oven it went. I also used Swai fish instead of halibut. Believe it or not, I purchased the Swai, frozen fillets, from Wal-Mart. $3.95 for four fillets and it was delish, firm and flaky!
Swai with Tomatoes, Rosemary, and Zucchini in Foil Packets
2 medium zucchini, quartered and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pint grape tomatoes
1/4 C pitted kalmata olives, halved
4 Swai fillets
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 T olive oil
Preheat oven (or grill) to 350° to 400°. Arrange 4 sheets aluminum foil on work surface. Divide first 3 ingredients evenly among sheets of foil. Top with Swai fillets; sprinkle fillets evenly with S & P. Divide garlic evenly among fillets; top each with a rosemary sprig and drizzle with oil. Gather sides of foil over fish and veggies to cover completely; crimp edges to seal packets.
Place fish packets in oven (or on grill). Cook for 5-6 minutes, then turn packets and cook another 5-6 minutes or until veggies are sizzling inside packets and fish is opaque throughout. Makes 4 servings (duh).
The zucchini was crisp yet tender and the tomatoes juicy, super easy, light and fresh!
Enjoy!
