Herb Roasted Haddock & Veggies

  This recipe is super easy if you want something with little prep time.  You can really use any fresh herb you'd like, I used basil this time around.  I also made some garlic wild rice and orzo (out of the box) to accompany it.  The herb butter was really awesome, so I made a bit extra and served in on a toasted baguette...it went fast.

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter, room temp
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (you can also use another herb, like tarragon)
  • 2 cups sliced mushroom (use whatever kind you like, or mix)
  • 2 stalks of celery, sliced
  • 1 bunch scallions, sliced
  • Salt & pepper ( I used white pepper)
  • 4 Tilapia filets

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. 
In a small bowl, mix the butter and basil together.  I did this a few hours early so the basil would really flavor the butter well.


Lay out 4 large pieces of foil. Put 1/4 of vegetables on each piece of foil, season, and top with a spoonful of butter.

Season filets on both sides with white pepper and salt.  Place on filet on each vegetable bed.  Top each filet with a spoonful of butter.


Fold each of the four pieces of foil into tightly sealed packets.

Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake 18-20 minutes.

You should probably wait a few minutes to unwrap the foil packets so you don't burn yourself.  I just grabbed a dish towel and unwrapped them immediately.
