Ingredients

- 1 cup frozen mixed veggies (still frozen)

Preparation
Baking Directions:
Mild, white fish, like tilapia, is one of the lowest calorie sources of protein-good news is that it is low in cost too! This fish dinner is cooked in a packet with the veggies to keep all the great flavor and moisture in! Frozen mixed veggies are a nutritional bargin-pay just a quarter for a 1-cup serving that provides 6g fiber and a whopping 115% of your daily value for vitamin A!1. Place a 4-6 ounce tilapia fillet in the center of a large square (1 ft by 1.5 ft) out of aluminum foil.
2.Top the fish with 1 cup of frozen mixed veggies and sprinkle fish and veggies with salt, pepper and dried thyme.
3.Drizzle with olive oil and top with a lemon slice.
4.Roll foil up to secure packet and for baking.
5.Then I will open one packet (that has been baked for about 20 minutes at 450 degrees until fish is done and flakes easily with a fork and veggies are crisp-tender)and show plated with ½ cup whole grain brown rice.
Total cost for this tasty low-calorie meal: $1.45 per serving.
