Middle Eastern Foil Packet Fish Food

FOIL-PACKET SEAFOOD WITH BEANS AND KALE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Lay out four 12-by-18-inch sheets of heavy-duty foil on a work surface. Combine the tomatoes, beans, olive oil, wine, garlic, red pepper flakes, oregano, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Stir well.
• Drizzle the foil with olive oil. Evenly mound the kale in the center of each sheet. Season the halibut with salt and pepper and place on top of the kale. Add the mussels to the sheets, then spoon the tomato mixture on top. Bring the two short ends of the foil together and fold twice; fold in the sides to seal.
• Grill the foil packets until the fish is cooked through and the mussels open, about 10 minutes. Carefully remove to a baking sheet. Grill the bread until lightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drizzle the cut sides with olive oil and season with salt. Carefully open the foil packets; discard any unopened mussels. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve with the bread.

ITALIAN FISH AND VEGGIE POCKETS

Steps:

• Special equipment: 4 large sheets of aluminum foil or parchment paper
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a small bowl mix together the lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
• Lay out the 4 sheets of aluminum foil. Place 1/4 of the sugar snap peas, 1/4 of the yellow bell peppers, and 1/4 of the orange bell peppers on each sheet of foil. Over each pile of vegetables drizzle 2 tablespoons of white wine, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and gently toss.
• Top each pile of seasoned vegetables with a piece of fish. Sprinkle the fish with some of the reserved lemon zest mixture. Top each fish with 2 slices of lemon.
• Fold up the foil into an air-tight packet. Place the foil packets in the oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish. Sprinkle the fish with mint just before serving.

MEDITERRANEAN FISH AND VEGETABLE FOIL PACKETS SERVED OVER COUSCOUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lay two 20-inch sheets of aluminum foil on top of each other. Place fish in the center and season with salt and pepper.
• Put next 7 ingredients in a bowl and toss with 2 tsp. each lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, and white wine and sprinkle with dried herbs. Place over top the fish and lay the lemon slices across the vegetables. Fold up the sides of the foil and pinch at the top to create a pouch. Make sure the sides are sealed as well. Bake for about 20 minutes or until fish is fully cooked.
• While the fish is baking, line the edge of your serving bowl with the cucumber ribbons. Put the cooked and fluffed couscous in the center. Slide fish and vegetables on top of the couscous and add remaining 1 tsp. each lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil, roasted red and yellow bell pepper strips, green pepper, carrots, feta cheese, and parsley.
