Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, chopped
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons Tuttorosso® Tomato Paste
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can Tuttorosso® Petite Diced Tomatoes
  • 1/2 medium zucchini, cut into match sticks (1/4″ x 1/4″ x 3″)
  • 1/2 medium yellow summer squash, cut into match sticks (1/4″ x 1/4″ x 3″)
  • 1/2 medium red bell pepper, cut into match sticks (1/4″ x 1/4″ x 3″)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 firm white fish, 4-6 ounce fillets (cod or tilapia)

Instructions

Step one

Preheat oven to 350º F

Step two

Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook for about 2 minutes.  Add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Add tomato paste and cook together for 2 minutes.  Add Petite Diced tomatoes and stir gently to combine.  Cook at a low simmer for 5 minutes uncovered to thicken to a sauce.

Step three

Using heavy duty aluminum foil (or double layer of regular foil), make 4 pieces about 12″ square.  Evenly divide the zucchini, yellow squash and red pepper match sticks among each piece of foil.  Place one fillet on top of the vegetables.  Season with salt and pepper.  Evenly divide the tomato sauce mixture on top of each fillet.

Step four

To make the foil packets, bring the sides up and fold over to create a seal, then fold in and roll in each end to seal the packet and create a pouch.  Do not smash the packets, allow room above the fish for steaming of the fish.

Step five

Place packets on a baking sheet and place in preheated oven.  Bake for 20-25 minutes until fish is flaky and cooked through.  Remove from oven and carefully open packets, you can plate fish and vegetables on to plates or eat from the packet on a plate.
