Baked Flounder Lunch

Today's insanely quick and easy lunch was Baked Flounder, yum! For your fish. you can go to a local fish market for fresh fillet's (which would be more expensive), or even the frozen section of your town's supermarket for a more budget friendly option- just as good! If you don't like flounder, feel free to use another type of flaky fish, like tilapia or bass. The secret to keeping your fish moist is by wrapping it up with aluminum foil to bake instead of pan frying it.

For this recipe, take your fillet of fish and put it in a piece of tinfoil with your choice of veggies; I used broccoli, eggplant and zucchini. Other great additions are asparagus, small red potatoes, cauliflower or brussels sprouts. Season your fish and choice of vegetables with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and crushed red pepper or cayenne pepper- the added heat will temporarily boost your metabolism. I also included some canned fire roasted diced tomatoes on top of my fish before putting it in the oven. After you've seasoned your fish and veggies, close up the tinfoil and place it in your preheated oven at 425 degrees for about 10-15 minutes. If you want some more starch, you can add some brown rice or mashed potatoes on the side.

This recipe makes 1 serving.
