A simple company fish dish.
YIELD: 4 servings, each with 2 grams of carbohydrates and 1 gram of fiber, for a total of 1 gram of usable carbs and 31 grams of protein.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 1/2 pounds tilapia fillets, cut into 4 portions
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup minced fresh herbs (chives, basil, oregano, thyme, or a combination of these)
- Salt
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Tear a piece of aluminum foil about 18 inches square for each fillet. Place a fillet in the center of the foil square, and curl the edges up a little. Put 1 tablespoon of butter, 2 tablespoons of wine, a tablespoon of minced herbs, and just a little salt on the filet.
- Fold the foil up around the fish, rolling the edges down in the middle and at the ends, so the packet won’t leak in the oven. Repeat for all 4 servings.
- Place the packets right on the oven shelf-there’s no need for a pan-and bake for 35 minutes.
NOTE:
- When it’s time to serve dinner, simply place a packet on each plate, and let diners open their own. That way, no one loses a drop of the yummy butter, wine, and herb sauce the fish cooked in.
