Method
- Ok, first thing lets prepare your fish ... a couple of options.
- Foil pouches for the oven or grill, or a casserole dish.
- Either way, make the sheet of foil large enough to wrap around the fish with some extra room for the vegetables and steam.
- lightly spray with Pam or drizzle just a little olive oil on the bottom so it wont stick.
- Place each filet on the foil and top with a little salt and pepper.
- Preheat oven to 375 and let the fish come to room temperature.
- Next lets make the vegetables ... they need a head start.
- In some olive oil, saute the onions and eggplant until slightly soft, 3 minutes should be good.
- Then add wine, seasoning, tomatoes, capers, olives and zucchini.
- Cook another 3-4 minutes until everything it cooked but not too soft.
- Add the lemon juice and any last minute salt and pepper, at the last minute.
- : Doesnt waste the wine, make sure you get some of that wine in each packet.
- Now, top the fish with with a little butter, then a generous scoop of the vegetable mixture.
- Distribute it out evenly.
- Top with a couple of lemon slices per filet, then with some feta cheese, then with a spoon or two of bread crumbs, then with a drizzle of olive oil.
- Wrap up but not too tight and place on a cookie sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes depending on the size of the fish filets.
- Remember your vegetables are cooked.
- Cooking on the grill will be a bit quicker.
- If cooking on the grill use medium heat, high will burn the fish.
- When you put the fish in the oven, make your pita bread.
- Drizzle with olive oil and lightly grill or broil for just a minute, cut and serve, same with the couscous.
- Add boiling water to the couscous in your serving bowl, cover with saran wrap and let sit 5 minutes.
- Add parsley and lightly stir and break up with a fork.
- Serve the filet and veggies over the couscous with the Pita bread on the side.
