Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4; 3 ounces fish, 1/2 cup vegetables, and 2 tablespoons sauce per serving

Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil
2 medium leeks (white part only), thinly sliced (about 1/3 cup)
4 ounces medium cremini (brown) or button mushrooms, quartered
1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
1/2 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh or frozen sugar snap peas, trimmed if fresh
1/2 teaspoon very low sodium chicken bouillon granules
Cooking spray
1 small lemon, cut into 8 slices and seeded
1 small lime, cut into 8 slices and seeded
4 sole or other mild white fish fillets (about 4 ounces each), rinsed and patted dry
1 teaspoon dried marjoram or dried oregano, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Sauce

1/2 cup fat-free plain yogurt
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (lowest sodium available)
1 teaspoon snipped fresh dillweed or 1/4 teaspoon dried, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon sugar

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F.

    Step 2

    In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the leeks, mushrooms, carrot, and bell pepper for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the carrot slices are tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.

    Step 3

    Stir in the sugar snap peas and bouillon granules. Remove from the heat.

    Step 4

    Meanwhile, lightly spray four 12-inch square pieces of aluminum foil with cooking spray. Arrange 2 slices of lemon and 2 slices of lime in a single layer in the middle of each piece of foil. Place a fillet on the citrus slices on each piece of foil. Sprinkle with the marjoram and pepper. Using your fingertips, gently press the seasonings so they adhere to the fish. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the leek mixture onto each fillet. Seal the foil tightly. Transfer the packets with the smooth side down to a baking sheet.

    Step 5

    Bake for 20 minutes. Using the tines of a fork, carefully open a packet away from you (to prevent steam burns). If the fish is cooked to the desired doneness, carefully open the remaining packets and serve. If the fish isn’t cooked enough, continue baking for about 2 minutes. Transfer the packets to plates.

    Step 6

    Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients. (The sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to four days.) If desired, heat the sauce in a small saucepan over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes, or until heated through, stirring occasionally. If you prefer, put the sauce in a small microwaveable bowl. Microwave, covered and vented, on 100 percent power (high) for 30 to 45 seconds, stirring once halfway through. Spoon about 2 tablespoons sauce over each serving.
