Mess Summer Fish Packets with Pesto
- Heavy-duty foil
Nonstick cooking spray
Grated peel and juice from 1 lemon
1 (7-ounce) container BUITONI Refrigerated All Natural Pesto
with Basil
1 bunch thin asparagus spears, trimmed into 2-inch pieces (about
2 1/2 cups total)
1 large yellow squash or zucchini, cut in half lengthwise, then
sliced horizontally into 1/4-inch half-moons (about 1 1/2 cups
total)
5 (4 to 5 ounces each) about 1-inch-thick white fish fillets
(such as wild halibut, red snapper, orange roughy or talapia)
Course salt and ground black pepper
1 basket cherry tomatoes, halved (about 1 1/4 cups total)
2 tablespoons sliced green onion
- Preheat oven to 450°F
(230°C).
- Arrange five 12 x 13-inch
pieces of foil on work surface; coat lightly with nonstick cooking
spray. Stir lemon peel into pesto. Divide asparagus and squash
evenly down center of each foil sheet; spoon 1 tablespoon pesto
mixture over vegetables. Place one fish fillet over pesto vegetables;
sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Spread each fish fillet with
1 tablespoon pesto mixture.
- Top each fish fillet evenly
with tomato halves and green onion. Sprinkle with lemon juice.
Bring up foil sides; double fold top and ends to seal each packet,
leaving room for heat circulation inside. Place on 15 x 10-inch
jelly-roll pan or rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes or
until fish is just opaque in center and vegetables are crisp-tender.
Carefully open packets, allowing steam to escape away from you
and let cool briefly. Using a spatula, gently push the fish and
vegetables onto plate.
Makes 4 servings.
Cooking Tip: Fish Packets
are also great on the grill! Preheat grill to medium. Place packets
on grill; cover and cook over indirect heat for 20 minutes or
until fish is opaque in center and vegetables are crisp tender.
Remove from grill and open carefully.
