Eating healthy in today's society is kind of tough, considering food has gotten so GOD DAMNED expensive. I find myself stopping to eat fast food more times each week than I care to admit. Mostly because of the price, but also because it's convenient. Well..that shitty fast food has taken a toll on my health skyrocketing my cholesterol. So... now I need to start eating less bad cholesterol and intake a little more Omega IIIs. Hence: My fish recipe.
This recipe is a combination of a bunch of other fish recipes I have accumulated in the past. It's one I went to the store blindly to prepare. I stopped at the ethnic (mostly polish) grocery store and started to pick up the ingredients...And without further adue, I give you..
Fantastic 15-minute fish in foil:
You'll need:
Tin Foil
Baking sheet or pizza pan
3 medium size filets of Orange Roughy
1 green pepper
1 red pepper
1 red onion (green onions are good too)
1/4 clove of Garlic (fresh)
1 tomato
1 lemon
1/4 cup Olive Oil
1 tbspn Basil
1/2 tbspn oregano
1/2 tbspn Parsley
Salt
Pepper
(whatever you see fit. Different people like different amounts of salt and peper)
First, Preheat your oven to 450 degrees then, chop your green pepper, red pepper, onion, and tomato up as shown in the following picture. Crush the garlic and chop it and put all the ingredients aside:
Now, lay out a large sheet of tinfoil and on it you'll spread out your veggies and pour olive oil atop. Save about half of the garlic and put aside:
Now go ahead and place your fish atop the veggies and cover in the remaining garlic. Sprinkle Oregano, Basil, Parsley, Salt and Pepper across the top of the fish:
FORGOT TO TAKE A PICTURE HERE: But...slice your lemon up. You'll need about 6 lemon slices to place atop the fish filets. (squeeze remaning lemon juice over the entire uncooked dish)
Last step...(my picture here didn't come out properly and I was on a time restraint so I didn't realize)
Fold the tinfoil around the entire dish like a pocket. Once long ways and roll the ends up. Use two pieces of foil if need be. Now put on baking sheet or pizza pan and place in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until fish is soft and flakey.
That's it. You're done!
Your finished dish should look something like this:
So there you have it. I hope those of you who like fish find this to be tastey. I apologize for the crappy pictures, but I only had my cell to take them with. Feel free to go with different variations of the recipe...make it your own! and Contact me with any questions. Thanks for looking!
