Parchment Fish Dinner

Made this tonight because I was short on time. 10 minutes prep time, 20 minutes cook time. Good for weeknight meals and super healthy. Make one fish pack per person.



Pick any fish you like:
I used 1 small fillet of black cod.


Add any vegetables you like:
I had some carrots so I julienned them (they need to be cut thinly so they will cook well). 


Add any herbs you like:
Fresh is best, but all I had was dry so I used thyme and dill. 


I also squeezed half a leftover lemon, salt and pepper. Fold it up across the top, long-ways, then roll and crease the sides to stay shut. Put it on a cookie sheet in a 375 oven for 15-20 minutes. 


I made some wilted spinach on the stove as a side. Take a bunch of fresh washed spinach. Don't worry if it's dried well, even better if it's not. Throw "too much" into a lidded frying pan (make a mountain out of it) and put the lid on. Put your stove on low and let it do it's thing for about 5 minutes. The leaves will sweat and wilt and you will have a tiny little pile of yummyness when it's done. You could add garlic or salt if you like. 


I found leftover kale when I was fishing out the spinach, so I stuffed that into a bowl and worked the oil in to make kale chips after the fish comes out.
