Easy Fish and Veg

Ever have the need for a dinner that is healthy and not difficult to put together?  How about roasted vegetables and fish with lemon and herbs in parchment?  For the vegetables take whatever you have (potatoes, onions, zucchini...) and a 13x9 dish with 2 Tablespoons of olive oil in the bottom.  Chop vegetables in 1" or less sized pieces, toss with olive oil, salt and pepper.  Roast at 425 degrees, stir every 1/2 hour until cooked as you like.

For the fish, place on a large piece of parchment - enough to completely enclose and seal.  I like a hearty white fish like cod or halibut for this, but salmon works just as well.  Season the fish with sea salt, a little olive oil and a little white wine or vermouth.  Cover fish with some fresh herbs (e.g, tarragon, italian parsley, or thyme) and slices of lemon - meyer lemon is great as it's sweeter than regular lemon.  Enclose the fish in the parchment and seal. Place on a baking sheet and bake with the roasting vegetables  for the last 10-15 minutes depending on the type and size of the fish.

 

You can even eat the meyer lemons and their rind along with the fish.  Delicious!
