Simple Whitefish With Lemon and Herbs

I can't believe something this simple can taste this good. This was actually my very first time making fish, and it turned out absolutely fabulous! This is another recipe from my favorite cookbook, Eating for IBS by Heather Van Vorous. I actually didn't have any rosemary, so I made it with basil and oregano. Try it with your favorite fresh or dried herbs!

I won't award stars this time around because I goofed - I used Basa filet, frozen at sea, I did not give it enough time to completely thaw before cooking . It ended up too soft. However the flavor was excellent so I give full marks to the recipe and no marks to the cook. Thanks Kree I will make it again, next time correctly

    This was dinner last night along with Herbed Corn on the Cob Herbed Corn on the Cob. Both of these recipes are cooked in foil in the oven. Easy meal and easy clean-up. Served with a side of asparagus. The recipe never said what to do with the lemon, I placed it on top of the fish inside the foil packets and allowed the juice to cook into the fish. Used pollack fillets for the fish.

    This is a great way to cook fish! I used whiting fillets, with skin on, cut in half so they fit into a smaller packet. I cooked them in parchment paper, which I folded and stapled to make the pouches. The fish came out beautifully done. It was REALLY flavorful. I do like lots of flavor in my food, but next time I might cut back on the lemon and rosemary. I might not have used 1 1/2 lbs of fish, so that might be why it was so very flavorful. I think this is my new favorite way to cook fish.
