Fish & Veggie Foil Bake

Regarding weeknight meals, I don't particularly appreciate cooking a big messy dinner. I'm tired of thinking and decision-making, so I keep our meals planned out for the week and simple. It was fish this weeknight, so I knew Kenny would be cooking when I rolled in around 530pm; wrong. He's on the tractor moving dirt. I am left to cook the fish. I d not like frying it, and sautéed fish I always dry out. I started thinking of the foil packs from the chicken and stuffing I made. Throw the fish on the stuffing mixture, add broccoli and butter and bake. Cooking the fish this way would be easy and less messy.

Pinterest scrolling began. I found two recipes I liked and decided to combine the two and create my own. Kenny came inside to start cooking as I was deep into prepping the foil with the spinach and carrots. He began apologizing for not getting the fish started; I love this man. I told him not to worry; I created a new recipe for us. Turning a "normal" recipe into something new turns into joking of "you're ruining the redfish I caught".

He jumps in to help prepare the fish. The secret to cooking redfish, whether you fry, sauté, grill, or bake, is to cut the dark red line of meat out of the fillet. This recipe was a hit. It was light, fresh, and delicious. We will be doing this one again, but with more spinach. I didn't have enough to make the entire cup on each pack.

Let me know if you try it.
