I was experimenting last night with some flounder fillets I had bought and other items I had in the refrigerator. I loved it. More importantly, my husband loved it. It's fairly healthy.
I buy spinach, carrots and other veggies wanting to make a salad. But Don will skip the salad. I can not get him to eat a salad no matter how I dress it up. So I try to put carrots and spinach in every main dish. It works!!
I grilled asparagus, brushed in butter, right beside the fish. Not on the foil.
