Berry Foiled Fish






Okay, okay... I know its been a little while. Sorry. Life is just a full time job you know? You may notice I've lost a bit more weight, almost 90lbs gone now! The food in this blog is what I mostly eat. One rule, go as Organic as you can all EVERYTHING.

Heres a great recipe that I found in a Men's Health Magazine, but made it my own. Feel free to play around yourself and invent new and exciting tastes! This a very easy and fast dish to prepare.

Berry Foiled Fish (for 2)

Preheat oven to 400.

Take 2 pieces of Tilapia or Cod and thaw under cool water. Drain and pat dry.
Place them into separate square pieces of foil (about 12" each)
Snap the ends off of a about a dozen asparagus sticks and split them between the 2 fish
Add a couple of chunks of portabello mushrooms (or your favorite) to each fish
BERRY TIME!* Add a handful of fresh blueberries to each fish. Sounds wild, but tastes amazing!
Drizzle on the Tamari** and Balsamic Vinegar over it all (about 2 tbls each)
Add your favorite spices and herbs. I used Dill and Smoked Paprika

Close up the foil and seal it all around and place on a cookie sheet (the last thing you want is the insides of this leaking all inside your oven)
Bake in the oven at 400 for about 15-18 minutes. If you go to long, the fish will dry out.

Volia! A wonderful, flavourful explosion of infuised flavor in EVERY bite!

Variations? I've done this with purple onion, BBQ sauce, hot pepper relish... etc... Like I say, make your kitchen your playgound, so have some fun with it! You could even try this on the grill for a nice smokey flavor.

* The pics on this blog I did before I redid the recipe with the blueberries, so just close your eyes and imagine them on the fish! :)
** Tamari is a gluten free organic version of Soy Sauce and can be found at most stores.
