Mediterranean Fish Parcels

While I do enjoy cooking, I don't want to spend my whole night making dinner and I especially don't want to spend the rest of the night cleaning up and doing dishes. I try to create recipes that are not only healthy and delicious - but quick to make and easy to clean up! That is how this recipe was born. I love fish and try to eat it a few times a week. Honestly, I don't like touching and preparing raw meat or fish and it is something Josh does a lot of the time while I do the sides. BUT when I do make the full meal, I try to do it in a way where I don't have to handle it that much so I tend to bake a lot of my proteins. This meal is so easy because while you are cooking the fish and veggies in the oven, the quinoa is cooking on the stove. In about 20 minutes, you have a fancy looking, fresh meal!

Servings: 4
Prep/Total Time: 20

Ingredients:

• 8 cups spinach
• 4 4 oz mahi mahi fillets (or your favorite white fish like halibut or cod)
• 1 lemon, sliced
• 16 cherry tomatoes, halved
• 8 kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
• 1 Tbsp minced garlic
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 4 Tbsp white wine
• Dash of salt and pepper
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 4 servings quinoa, cooked according to package directions.

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
2. Cut 4 large squares of parchment paper.​
3. Place spinach and a fish fillet in the center of each piece of parchment. Arrange a lemon slice on top of each fillet and evenly divide the tomatoes, olives and garlic among the parcels.
4. Drizzle with olive oil and white wine. Sprinkle with a dash of salt, pepper and the basil. 
5. Wrap each parcel by rolling the top and sides together like a tootsie roll wrapper with no gaps.
6. Place parcels on a baking sheet and cook for 10-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily.
7. Add quinoa to each plate and top with parcel ingredients. Drizzle with remaining parcel liquid.
