Directions

  1. Wash hands with soap and water.
  2. Rinse fresh vegetables under running water before preparing.

  6. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 20 minutes more or until fish flakes easily. A safe internal temperature is 145 degrees F.
  7. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.

  • Try Food Hero Creole Seasoning.
  • Change the flavor by adding lemon juice or lemon pepper.  
  • Try salsa instead of fresh tomato and green onion.

Great meal, the family gobbled it up and there were no leftovers.  It did take much longer to cook, I think because our fish was a bit thick.  We have a thermometer and took it out when the temp was 145 degrees.
