  1. I do something similar but with onions and zucchini instead of mushrooms and spinach. Can’t wait to give this version a spin! Thanks!

  2. I’m confused by the lime. Should it be chopped? Juiced? Quartered?I’m in the middle of making this now, so it’s a bit late, but I’m still curious.

    1. Pamela, it looks like the juice of one lime and then the zest. It’s easiest to zest the lime first then juice it afterward.

  3. I tried this for my family, and it did NOT cook at all! I mean, the edges of the fish were fine, but not done at all! Since everyone was ready to eat, I opened up the foil packets, threw the veggie mix in a skillet and heated until done, and threw the fish fillets on the indoor grill for a few min. Topped the fish with veggies again, and it was great! So I will do this again, but will change the cook method definatly!

  4. I am guessing it would work fine to ditch the foil and just bake or even broil the fish with the toppings on them? (Hindsight: This is probably a stupid question. I’m new to this freezer cooking concept and don’t know why I feel like that makes me new to cooking in general, too! 😉 )

    1. It probably would work to omit the foil, Christie, but the foil gets some nice steam on your fish and keeps it moist and flaky. You can bake without but would need to pay close attention as to not dry out your fish.

  5. This is Marinating now but a couple unclear things…. you are supposed to Mari ate the veg mix with the fish correct? How much of it? It’s unclear whether it says to pour remaining contents in foil with fish to bake exactly what those Conte ts are…. is it more of the veg mix in addition to the herb mix or just thr herb mix? Tha ks.

    1. You just divide the marinade evenly between each quart size bag of fish. One you’re ready to transfer to foil you place the fish in first and then top with the remaining mixture. Thanks for pointing this out! We may be able to adjust these instructions to make them a bit more clear for the future.
