directions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F; line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil and cut off an additional 4 squares of foil to make fish packets.
  • Melt butter in olive oil over low heat; brush foil squares with just a small amount of this mixture (the remainder will be used for the sauce) - alternatively, you can spray the foil with cooking spray.
  • Season both sides of the fish with salt and pepper; lay one fillet on each foil square and grate the lemon zest over each.
  • Close up packets and arrange on a prepared baking sheet; bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place cauliflower florets, onion, and tomatoes in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil; arrange, in a single layer, on the other prepared baking sheet.
  • Season vegetables with salt and pepper and roast until cauliflower just begins to brown on the edges and tomatoes soften and collapse, about 15 minutes.
  • Once fish and vegetables are done, place almonds in remaining olive oil/butter mixture and heat just until almonds are golden, only about 1 minute - be careful, they burn easily (even if they do brown, they are still good).
  • Open packets and plate fish with cauliflower mix along side; top with sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.
