Baked Fish in foil packets

When it comes to seafood I rarely discriminate. I love it!

 I've been craving baked fish, something pretty... Individual foil packets were the way to go. I'm all about eating with my eyes, I'm such a freak. Anyways, the simplicity of this recipe & variations can make this a staple in your book of recipes. Use any veggies and/or herbs of your choice, & wrap in foil. Impress your honey with this eye pleaser.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lb chunky tilapia filets

 (or halibut, bass, cod, flounder, mahi mahi etc.)

3 garlic cloves

Olive oil

Salt & pepper

(Veggies I choose)

Red bell pepper, jalapeño, onion, asparagus (thinly sliced) 

Marinate your fish if time allows, place in a large ziplock, add crushed garlic, and 1Tb oil. 

 

Chop veggies for later use. 

 



Pre-heat oven at 400. Cut large pieces of foil, add a piece of fish, season with salt & pepper,

 

add some veggies,

 

finish with a slice or two of lemon, 1 piece of butter

 

& wrap tightly.

 

Place packets on a baking sheet & in the oven they go! Bake for 20-25 minutes.

 

 25 minutes was perfect!

Opening up the packets of fish smelled heavenly!

 

I probably made more food than our stomachs can handle, but everything was delicious!

My sides included black beans, barley, & Roasted Broccoli.

 The kids fish packets didn't included veggies, so these sides were perfect for them. 

 

XOXO, Enjoy!!!

Broiled Fish Tacos with Chipotle mayo

Who doesn't like fish tacos???

This is a great alternative to fried fish tacos.

Preheat oven at 400.

Season fish of your choice with, salt, pepper, paprika & pinch of cumin. Cut your fish into strips. I recommend using tilapia, cod, or halibut. About 2 lbs should feed 4 people.

Broil for 12 minutes, turning once.

Meanwhile slice 1/4 red cabbage & 1/4 green cabbage. Set aside.
Pickle some sliced red onions in lemon juice & a bit of salt.

Chipotle Mayo:

1/4 cup Light Mayo 

4 chipotle chiles

Blend until smooth & season if needed. 

This stuff is the bomb!

Warm up tortillas, assemble 2 slices of fish in the center of the tortilla,
cabbage, drizzle chipotle mayo & garnish with pickled onions. 

ENJOY!!
