Health benefits of Fish & Vegetable Packets Recipe

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups julienned carrots
1-1/2 cups fresh snow peas
2 green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces
4 cod fillets (6 ounces each)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 teaspoons butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 °. In a small bowl, combine carrots, snow peas and green onions. Cut parchment paper or heavy-duty foil into four 18x12-in. pieces; place a fish fillet off center on each. Drizzle with lemon juice and top with carrot mixture. Sprinkle with seasonings; dot with butter.
Fold parchment paper over fish. Bring edges of paper together on all sides and crimp to seal, forming packets. Place on baking sheets.
Bake 10-15 minutes or until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork. Open packets carefully to allow steam to escape.
