Mediterranean Fish in Foil Packets - 21.3g Carbs, 6.9g Fiber
By: The Gluten Free Goddess VIA WebMD Recipe from Foodily.com
This easy version of a Mediterranean favorite is served with spinach,
tomatoes, onions, and garlic.
4 serving size fish fillets, rinsed and patted dry (about 1 1/2 lb)
1 squeeze of fresh lemon juice
Sea salt and fresh pepper
8 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
2 red or sweet yellow onions, cut into pieces
4 cups baby spinach leaves or chopped spinach
8 plum or Italian tomatoes, roughly chopped
4 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
1 sprinkle of red pepper flakes, to taste
Extra virgin olive oil, as needed
Fire up the grill to medium high heat.
If you are cooking indoors, preheat the oven to 375 F.
Tear off a large sheet of aluminum foil and place it on a large platter
or tray.
Lay the fish fillets in the center, in a single layer. Squeeze a little
lemon juice over the fillets. Season with sea salt and fresh pepper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the garlic, onion, baby spinach and
tomatoes. Add the balsamic vinegar, fresh chopped herbs, red pepper
flakes and toss to mix. Drizzle with enough extra virgin olive oil
to moisten it all. Season the mixture with a little sea salt and
pepper. Toss to coat.
Tear off a second sheet of foil the same size as the bottom sheet.
Turn up all the edges of the bottom sheet a bit to catch any liquid
that runs to the edge.
Spoon the spinach-tomato mixture on top of the fish. Drizzle on any
remaining olive oil left in the bowl.
Lay the second piece of foil on top of the fish and veggies and crimp
the foil closed all around the edges to make a large packet.
Carry the packet with the platter or tray to the grill and carefully
transfer the packet to the preheated grill. Cover the grill and cook
until the fish is done- about 20 minutes or so- depending on the
thickness of the fillet, and how hot your fire is. The fish should
flake easily with a fork, and appear opaque.

Karina's Note for Gluten-Free Folks:
This is a safe way for those with celiac disease or food allergies
to eat at pot luck barbecues and picnics. Bring your own packets!
Make single individual packets for each person to make it easy to
share the grill with no danger of cross contamination.
