This is so simple. Cut some foil, preheat the oven, toss in the beans, fish, veggies, spices, oil and a bit of wine and you're good to go. You can prep these in advance and keep them in the fridge. Pop them in the oven and 20 minutes later you have a great dinner.
Servings: 2 | Serving size: 4 ounces fish with white beans and veggies

1 15 ounce can | no salt added white beans (drained and rinsed) |
2 4 ounce | halibut filets |
1/2 large | yellow bell pepper (julienned) |
4 large | black olives (sliced into strips) |
2 Tbsp | capers |
2 Tbsp | olive oil |
4 Tbsp | white wine |
1 medium | green onion (sliced crosswise) |
1/8 tsp | salt |
fresh ground black pepper (to taste) | |
1 tsp | fresh thyme leaves |
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Fold two pieces of aluminum foil so that they are almost a square (15 inches x 12 inches). Starting at one end of the folded edge, cut a half of a heart shape in such a way that when the foil is opened it is in the shape of a heart.
Place half of the beans on top of one side of the heart shape for each of the pieces of foil. Top each with the halibut filets.
Add half of the yellow pepper strips, olives, capers, olive oil, white wine, green onion, salt, pepper and thyme to each piece of foil.
Close the foil packets and secure the edges by rolling the edge inward, starting at the point of the heart and working around to the base of the heart. The foil pouch with the fish inside will be in the shape of a large half circle.
Place the pouches on a cookie sheet and then into the oven. Cook for 15 minutes.
Remove each pouch to a plate and let stand 30 seconds before cutting the pouch open. There will be some hot steam that escapes when the foil is cut (be careful!).
