GARDEN TILAPIA

Steps:

• Line a jelly roll pan with foil. Spray with cooking spray.
• Place filets on foil covered pan and sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning, and garlic powder.
• Lay onion slices, sliced zucchinni, sliced yam, spinach, baby carrots, green onions, green peppers, and any other veggies you may like, over the filets.
• Sprinkle with dill weed. Divide the margarine into quarters and place the dots randomly over the dish.
• Cover tightly with foil.
• Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes. You can start checking at 20 minutes. The fish is done when it flakes.
• Note: to precook the yam, I threw it in the microwave for 8 minutes or so. When it was cooked thoroughly, I allowed it to cool enough to handle and then placed on the spinach.
