Ingredients:


1/2 cup fresh Italian parsley chopped

1/4 cup dry white wine

3 tablespoons bread crumbs dried

2 teaspoons lemon zest grated

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 clove garlic minced

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon white pepper

20 ounces red snapper 4-5oz fillets

4 cups carrot sticks 3x1/4 inch

4 cups zucchini sticks cut 3x1/4 inch

2 teaspoons margarine reduced calorie -- melted

1 bunch fresh parsley sprigs -- for garnish
 

Preparation / Directions:


1) Preheat oven to 375 oF. Spray a 13 x 9 inch glass or ceramic baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

2) In small bowl, combine chopped parsley, wine, bread crumbs, zest, juice, oregano, thyme, oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Cover; let stand until mixture forms a paste-like consistency, 10 minutes.

3) Place fillets skin-side down in prepared baking dish. With spatula, spread herb paste evenly over top of each fillet. Bake until fish flakes easily when pierced with a fork and paste has formed a crust, about 12 minutes.

4) Meanwhile, in medium saucepan, add 2 inches water and bring to a boil. Arrange carrot sticks on steamer rack, place in saucepan and steam 3 minutes. Add zucchini sticks and steam until carrots and zucchini are both tender but firm. Remove from heat; toss gently with melted margarine. On 4 plates, arrange mixture in ovals, leaving well in center for fish.

5) Place cooked fillets in "nests," garnish with parsley sprigs and serve immediately.
