An AMAZING Dinner!

Thank you Amy!

What you need for this fantastic meal:
Halibut Filet 4-6 ounces per serving
Fresh tomatoes, I used small vine ripened tomatoes, cored
1 small zucchini per serving, sliced
1 small red pepper, for 2 servings, sliced
¼ yellow onion, for 2 servings, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, per serving, chopped
Salt, fresh pepper, olive oil
Parchment paper

Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Place halibut filets on a large piece of parchment paper. Top with tomatoes, zucchini, red pepper, onion and garlic. Drizzle with olive and add salt and fresh ground pepper to taste. Fold the parchment paper around the halibut & veggies. Bake until the fish is white and flaky. I served this on a bed of spinach that had been very lightly dressed with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper and steamed broccoli.

This meal was really easy and absolutely delicious! A new favorite for sure!
