FISH AND VEGETABLES WITH PESTO BAKED IN FOIL PACKETS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Blend pesto, lemon juice and hot pepper sauce in small bowl. Arrange four 12x12-inch pieces of heavy-duty foil on work surface. Place 1 fish fillet in center of each. Sprinkle fish lightly with salt and pepper. 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.
- Using long spatula, transfer foil packets to large baking sheet. Bake until fish is just opaque in center and vegetables are crisp-tender, about 25 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose the right fish: Use firm-fleshed fish like salmon, cod, or tilapia. These fishes hold up well in foil packets and won't fall apart during cooking.
- Prep the vegetables: Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly. Vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and zucchini are great choices.
- Season the fish and vegetables: Use a combination of herbs, spices, and citrus to flavor the fish and vegetables. Lemon, dill, and garlic are popular choices.
- Wrap the packets tightly: Fold the foil packets tightly around the fish and vegetables to create a seal. This will help to keep the moisture in and the flavors from escaping.
- Cook the packets over medium heat: Place the foil packets on a preheated grill or in a preheated oven. Cook the packets for the recommended time, or until the fish is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Conclusion:
Fish and vegetable foil packets are a healthy and delicious way to cook a meal. They are easy to prepare and can be cooked on a grill or in an oven. With a little planning, you can create a variety of flavorful and nutritious meals using this cooking method.
