20 Minute Fish Wrap Meal

10 steps to the easiest fish dish you have ever added to your family's dinner schedule!  I promise this is a super quick, easy dish and is a great way to add fish into your family's diet.  This fabulous recipe I found somewhere (I have no idea now, I have been making it by memory for so long).  I tried to Google it, but couldn't find it any more- boo.  So anonymous props to the chef that came up with this!

Dinner consists of the following:
Quinoa
Asparagus
Carrots
Tilapia
Edamame
Beverage of your choice

Pretty sure this hits the "health-o-meter" Xs 100.

Prepare Edamame and Quinoa as directed by your particular packaging.  Both are incredibly easy to eat (kid friendly if you are worried about that) and super healthy for your family.  If you haven't tried either, this is the meal to start- you will be hooked! 

What you need for the fish wrap:
4- 2.5 oz Tilapia filets
1 Orange (sliced, halved)
8 Carrots (quartered, length wise)
16 Asparagus stalks (bases trimmed)
Mrs. Dash Garlic/herb seasoning (I use this because we don't use salt)
Parchment paper
Olive Oil (please, for the love of all things Italian, get the good stuff!)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Final prep before folding
1.  Tear your parchment paper into 12 inch squares.  Fold in half length wise.  (Basically, you are making a pouch for each filet to bake in.)
2.  Lay filet inside folded flap.
3.  Add 4 Asparagus and 4 carrots on top of the filet
4.  Sprinkle Mrs. Dash over all ingredients
5.  Drizzle Olive Oil on top- not too much
6.  Place 2 halves of Orange on top
7.  Close parchment and double fold sides, then fold top down.  This is in essence closing your pouch of food.
Parchment Pockets
8.  Lay on baking pan


9. Bake in oven for about 12 minutes (until fish is white and flaky and veggies are crisp).


10. Remove from oven, open pouch and use spatula to place food on top of quinoa dish.  Add Edamame as a side dish and VOILA!  You are finished! :)

Now all you need to do is pick your beverage of choice (no suggestions from me on this one)!

Yummy goodness!

Next time you are trying to incorporate more fish into your family's diet, try this; it is super easy, doesn't have a "fishy" taste and I promise you will love it!

Be Blessed.
