Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 4 fish fillets, depending on the size (again snapper, tilapia, even flounder and grouper will work too)
• 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
• 1 cup zucchini, and thin sliced in rounds (about 1 small zucchini)
• 1 cup eggplant (i like to use the small japanese varieties which you can find almost any where these days)
• sliced halved black olives
• 1 tablespoon capers
• 1/2 cup sliced shallot (or you can use a small onion cut in half and then thin sliced)
• 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/2 cup wine
• 2 lemons, thin sliced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• salt (go easy with the capers and olives)
• pepper
• 3 teaspoons olive oil
• quick cooking couscous
• parsley, and olive oil for a garnish

Recipe

• 1 vegetables -- ok, first thing lets prepare your vegetables. in a saute pan, add the eggplant and onion and cook a minute. now add the zucchini, olives, capers, tomatoes, seasoning (go light on the salt) and just simmer for a few minutes. it will continue to cook in the pouches.
• 2 fish -- get a nice sheet of foil about 10 x 10 (for each fillet) so you can fold it up basically like a present so you can add liquid without it leaking. now, spray in inside of the foil with a little of the pam and place the fish fillet and season with a little salt and pepper if you want (not necessary).
• 3 topping -- top with fish fillet with a lemon slice, then the tomato vegetable mixture, then pour a little of the wine on top of the tomatoes. just wrap up and place on a cookie sheet for the oven or the grill.
• 4 bake -- 425 middle shelf for 30 minutes. grill same timing. depending on the thickness of your fish and the amount of filling it can take 30-40 minutes.
• 5 couscous -- i like to use broth to cook, but water will be fine. just in the microwave in the bowl you are serving it in, garnish with a little parsley if you want and olive oil.
