Snacks on Snacks on Snacks: Baked Fish in Foil
I haven’t posted a srsly healthy recipe since the spaghetti squash and vegan “meatballs” from October! Since then, my diet has become a bit more restricted:
- No more Bomb Pops
- No more soda/pop/soda pop
- No more Splenda (Truvia instead)
In these trying times, I’ve sought comfort in the arms of baked fish fillets.
I’m making cod and tilapia, but it’s funny cuz it’s a craw fish!
My favorite recipe book (Google) suggested I bake my frozen cod and tilapia fillets in foil packets. This is very new to me, so I’ll share it for my kitchen-impaired friends like Laura and Ellie.
The rest of you who have been doing this since the dawn of time can shut it. <3
First, I get myself some fish.
Costco sells individually wrapped tilapia and cod fillets. Super!
I thaw the fillets, and season them.
I season the fish with salt, pepper, oregano, light Blue Bonnet and a lemon slice.
Each piece of fish gets its own foil packet.
Wrap the fish on the long end first, then the short end.
Bake ‘em at 400 degrees for 40 minutes. Donesies!
I served mine with 1/2 C. polenta and 1 C. green beans.
Clearly I need to work on my presentation skills. Green beans on a green plate and fish in a billion pieces. Amateur hour.
The whole plate is 400 calories (polenta is the big ticket item). You could sub in sweet potato or quinoa, too.
Pow. Fish fillets.
True story – I’ve never cooked fish at home (except for the frozen breaded filets from Trader Joes, and I don’t think they count.) Perhaps this will be my first fish recipe!
I love reading your blog. Have you ever tried pan cooking your tilapia on a bed of shredded sweet potatoes? It’s healthy and the sweet potatoes get a nice little crunch. Also, because you eat yogurt and granola, do you make your own granola? I’m still in search of the perfect recipe. You look incredible, by the way!
Have NOT tried that, Kendra. How does it work?
Thanks for the compliments! Glad you enjoy reading!
