Tuscan Fish Packets

Dinner

My husband does a lot of fishing, so I'm always looking for different ways to serve his catches. A professional chef was kind enough to share this recipe with me, and I played around with some different veggie combinations until I found the one my family liked best.

Ingredients

1 can (15 ounces) great northern beans, rinsed and drained
4 plum tomatoes, chopped
1 small zucchini, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup white wine
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
4 tilapia fillets (6 ounces each)
1 medium lemon, cut into 8 thin slices

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°. In a bowl, combine beans, tomatoes, zucchini, onion, garlic, wine, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoons pepper.
2. Rinse fish and pat dry. Place each fillet on an 18x12-inch piece of heavy-duty foil; season with remaining salt and pepper. Spoon bean mixture over fish; top with lemon slices. Fold foil around fish and crimp edges to seal. Transfer packets to a baking sheet.
3. Bake until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork and vegetables are tender, 15-20 minutes. Be careful of escaping steam when opening packet.
