Baked Cod with Roasted tomatoes and ginger carrots

Here's a great thing about fish- if you use a basic white fish such as cod or tilapia, you can marinate and season it based on how you're feeling and baked it in the oven.  I wanted to figure out a way to make the least amount of cleanup since cleaning up after cooking is not my favorite part! I created packets using parchment paper and foil to cook each fish and accompanied it with some veggies.  Each packet is a single serving.  

Ingredients:

2 pieces of cod 

3-4 medium sized carrots

1 pint of tomatoes

1 handful of dill

1 handful of parsley

1/4 cup of white wine (dry)

1/2 cup of lemon juice

1 Tbsp butter

1/2 Tsp ginger

baked cod

A pinch of salt and pepper

 

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Add the white wine and lemon juice and place the fish in the mixture in a plastic container to marinate for about half an hour.  Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the fish. Create the packets using parchment paper and place 1/2 Tbsp of butter at the bottom and one piece of cod on top of each.  In a separate bowl, combine the carrots and ginger.  Chop the tomatoes and place a handful of carrots and tomatoes around each piece of cod in each packet.  Add parsley and dill to the top of each piece of fish. Wrap the packets like wrapping a sandwich up, folding over both sides so that they don't pop open.  Place the individual packets on a baking pan and place in the oven for 35-40 mins or until the fish is completely opaque and the carrots have softened.
