For this month's Cookbook Challenge, Emily and I both decided to do it while we were at the beach with our family. Yet again, I chose a recipe from Fresh Food Fast: Weeknight Meals. This time I chose to try my hand at cooking fish (flounder). Fish is a great source of lean protein, vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids (which are good for heart health).
Meyer Lemon and Dill Fish Parcels
Ingredients:
- 4 (6-ounce) halibut or flounder fillets
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 8 Meyer lemon slices (2 lemons)
- 1 Tbs butter, quartered
- 4 tsps chopped fresh dill
Directions:- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Cut 4 (15-inch) squares of parchment paper. Fold each square in half. Open folded parchment paper; place 1 fillet near fold on each square.
- Sprinkle fillets evenly with salt and pepper.
- Top evenly with lemon slices, butter quarters, and dill.
- Fold paper; seal edges with narrow folds. Place packets on large baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until paper is puffy and lightly browned.
- Place 1 packet on each of 4 serving plates, and cut open. Serve immediately.
This recipe was a cinch to make and I will definitely be making it again! I chose to serve it with some sweet potato fries and steamed broccoli.
