From: From: Easy Superfood Recipes  6-Pack: Nature's Best For Health, Wellness and Weight Loss (Kale, Quinoa, Chia Seed, Kiwi, Ginger, Apple Cider Vinegar) (Easy Recipe) Echo Bay Books, Scarlett Aphra (Kindle)

This dish can be made with all the ingredients combined in a saucepan and popped in a  low oven but it works best put together in tidy foil packages. There are a very few ingredients in this recipe and spinach provides a wonderful cushion to soak up all the delicious juices from the fish and seasons. Spinach is one of those incredible nutrient packed leafy greens that should be consumed every day. It is brimming with iron, fiber, vitamin A and protein which all contributes to good health.

4 halibut fillets
2 Tbsp ginger, grated fresh
2 tsp garlic, minced
1 lemon
2 Tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
6 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp orange zest

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2. For each halibut fillet fold together a 10 inch square of double thick foil and place a fillet in the center of each square.

3. Sprinkle each with ginger, garlic, a squeeze of lemon juice and coriander.

4. Fold up foil to create tight packets and place on baking tray.

5. Place in the oven for 15 minutes or until the fish flakes with a fork.

6. Remove from oven taking care of the hot steam from the packets.

7. Arrange spinach on the plates and dress greens with dressing.

9. Serve fish on the dressed greens with a lemon wedge.
