Easy Foil Baked Fish

I love white fish.  When I go home to see my mom, she always makes breaded sole and swiss chard.  It's one of my absolute favorite meals, and super easy to make.  I ran across this one, and realized it might be just a tad healthier.  Yes, the olive oil is still there, but the fish isn't breaded and its baked and not fried.   I served it with cous cous and spinach. 

Easy Foil Baked Fish

2 tilapia filets
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, sliced
1 lemon
3 cloves of garlic, chopped

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Rinse fish, and pat dry.

Baste fillets with olive oil, and season with garlic salt and black pepper. Place each fillet on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Top with jalapeno slices, and squeeze the lemon over fish. Arrange lemon slices on top of fillets. Carefully seal all edges of the foil to form enclosed packets. Place packets on baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of fish. Fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.

Healthy and delicious!
