Baked Flounder fillets and Vegetables!

Now, I've been talking about making foil packets for a long time. So much so, that when I brought up that I was going to make fish and veggies in a packet, my husband said "You really want to do those packets, huh?"

Yes, yes dear I do. It's so easy! And it's your own personal packet all to yourself. Who wouldn't like that?

Now onto the recipe. Remember everyone's taste buds are different, and don't be afraid to switch up the recipe to your own liking! Use as many different vegetables as you like and any seasonings you think would go great with it. Then remember to let me know what you did, because I'd love to try it! I used Flounder because my husband and I don't really like Salmon, so we mainly eat Flounder and Talapia. And baked fish is SO much better than fried. Really, anything is better than fried. Haha. Oh, and I also had some vegetables leftover that I froze for future use (probably tomorrows lunch.)

Ingredients:
3 Flounder fillets (or any other fish fillet)
2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 small Squash
1 Red Bell Pepper
1-2 big Carrots (mainly because my husband LOVES carrots)
1 Broccoli floret
A few mushrooms
1 handful of Spinach
Dash of Garlic
Aluminum foil (I used 12 inch x 12 inch squares, my aluminum foil is already pre cut)
And little dashes of salt and pepper

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 Degrees

Cut, dash, or slice all the vegetables listed above and add to a small to medium sized bowl.
Add the 2 tablespoons of Balsamic Vinegar, 1 tablespoon of Olive oil, and a dash of garlic, salt, and pepper.
After doing that, get your aluminum foil out, and put one fillet on each square. Then season with 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil (1 tablespoon for all 3 fillets), and a dash of salt and pepper.
Then add the seasoned vegetables to each packet, wrap it up, put on a cooking sheet and wait about 30 minutes for it to finish.
Unwrap that foil of deliciousness and enjoy!
Side note: I made some rice for a side.

I hope you enjoy the recipe! Its a very colorful meal that (I hope!) the whole family will love (:

Did you switch up the recipe at all? What did you do? What would you change? Let me know!

So sorry I didn't get any pictures of the process. My phone was dead, and we were out earlier and we are going out again tonight, so I didn't have time to wait for it to charge.
