BAKED FISH WITH SUMMER SQUASH



Baked Fish with Summer Squash image

Think baked fish is boring? One taste of this catch of the day, and you'll be hooked. Thinly slice the squashes so they cook as swiftly as the cod or halibut, and combine them with capers, thyme, and olive oil. Covering with foil for most of the cooking time is key: The protein stays tender, the vegetables get soft and juicy, and every forkful bursts with flavor.

Grilled Garden Squash with Fresh Herbs (foil packet) image

This is perfect for backyard grilling, or campfire grilling. I prepare packets like this when we go camping, and store the foil packet inside a sealed ziploc bag in the ice chest till i'm ready to cook it. This is by far my family's favorite side dish when we cook outside at home or while camping.

2-6 slice fresh from the garden summer squash (zucchini or yellow crookneck is best)
1/2 thinly sliced purple onion

Steps:

  • 1. Start by making a fairly large packet out of heavy duty foil. Make sure you seal up the sides well so the butter wont leak out.
  • 2. slice or cube up the 1/2 stick of butter and spread the pieces throughout the inside of the foil packet.
  • 3. slice your freshly picked summer squash into 1/8" or thinner slices. the best squash for this recipe is yellow crookneck or any small sized summer squash like zucchini. spread slices evenly throughout foil packet.
  • 4. thinly slice 1/2 a purple onion, add to packet along with fresh garden basil (about 5 to 7 leaves, i use the blooms pulled off the stem too), chopped fresh garden chives, thinly sliced red bell pepper (optional- some people can't digest these), and then sprinkle in white pepper, sea salt or garlic salt to taste.
  • 5. seal up the 3rd edge on your foil packet and lay flat on the grill -- indirect heat (do not cook directly over the flame). cook each side of the packet for about 20 minutes, depending on how many squash you have in there the cooking time will vary.

FISH FILLETS WITH TOMATOES, SQUASH, AND BASIL



Fish Fillets with Tomatoes, Squash, and Basil image

Categories     Fish     Bake     Quick & Easy     Low Cal     Dinner     Basil     Squash     Zucchini     Summer     Healthy     Yellow Squash     Bon Appétit     Pescatarian     Paleo     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups very thinly sliced assorted summer squash (such as zucchini, yellow crookneck, and pattypan)
1/4 cup thinly sliced shallots
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil, divided, plus 1/4 cup basil leaves
20 cherry tomatoes, halved
4 tablespoons dry white wine
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
4 6-ounce skinless white flaky fish fillets (such as Atlantic cod or halibut)

Steps:

  • Place four 14x12" sheets of parchment paper, or heavy-duty foil if grilling, on a work surface. Divide squash among parchment sheets, arranging on one side of sheet in thin layers. Sprinkle shallots and sliced basil over, dividing equally. Scatter tomato halves around squash. Drizzle each packet with 1 tablespoons wine and 1/2 tablespoon oil (add 1/2 tablespoon water to each if grilling). Season with salt and pepper. Place a fish fillet atop each portion. Season with salt and pepper; drizzle 1/2 tablespoon oil over each.
  • Fold parchment over mixture and crimp edges tightly to form a sealed packet. DO AHEAD: Can be made 4 hours ahead. Chill. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before continuing.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Place packets in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Alternatively, build a medium fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to medium-high. Bake or grill fish until just cooked through (a toothpick poked through the parchment will slide through fish easily), about 10 minutes. Carefully cut open packets (steam will escape). Garnish with basil leaves.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, firm cod fillets for the best results.
  • Cut the summer squash into thin slices so that it cooks evenly.
  • Season the cod and squash with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before baking.
  • To add more flavor, try adding a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of pesto to the foil packets before sealing.
  • If you're using a thicker piece of cod, increase the baking time by 5-10 minutes.
  • Be careful when opening the foil packets as the steam can be very hot.

Conclusion:

Baked cod and summer squash in foil packets is a quick, easy, and delicious way to enjoy a healthy meal. This dish is perfect for busy weeknights or for a light and healthy lunch. The cod cooks up flaky and tender, while the summer squash is soft and flavorful. The lemon-herb butter sauce adds a bright and refreshing flavor to the dish. Serve this dish with a side of roasted potatoes or rice for a complete meal.
