Lemon Herb Parchment Fish


This is a fantastic dinner dish loaded with DHA and in season vegetables (for July)!  Seasoned with thyme, lemon, and garlic this will not disappoint.  One reason I love cooking with parchment paper is it holds in all the juices.  The fish will not be dry, but instead flaky and flavorful.  In one serving there will be close to 40 grams of protein (8 oz)! The in season vegetable highlights are zucchini and summer squash.  The zoodles will cook in the lemon juice and garlic but won’t overcook, this allows for some texture within the meal as well. Bon appetite!
