Dilled Fish and Vegetable Packet

Prep: 15 minutes

Bake: 20 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

4 tilapia fillets (4 ounces each)

refrigerated butter-flavored spray

1/2 teaspoon salt, divided

1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided

2 cups fresh snow peas

2 cups fresh baby carrots, halved lengthwise

1 green onion, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons minced fresh dill

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 cup white wine or reduced-sodium chicken broth

Place an 18-in x 12-in piece of heavy duty foil on a large baking sheet. Arrange fillets in a single layer on foil; spritz with butter-flavored spray. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.

Combine the peas, carrots, onion, dill, garlic and remaining salt and pepper; spoon over fish. Drizzle with wine or broth. Top with a second large piece of foil. Bring edges together; crimp to seal, forming a large packet.

Bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork and vegetables are crisp-tender. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.

Tips and Tricks

Use kitchen shears to slice the green onion and fresh dill. I substituted regular green peas for snow peas, and used one garlic clove. In place of butter spray, I used a small dab of Smart Balance spread.
