The 73rd recipe I made with the Eating with Ellie group is Halibut Nicoise in Foil Packets, and can be found in Ellie Krieger's book Weeknight Wonders, on page 190. The theme for the week was chosen by Margaret: One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish.
Ingredient list: thin green beans, Roma tomatoes, lemon, halibut fillets, salt, pepper, black olive tapenade, white wine, olive oil, fresh thyme, and fresh basil leaves.
I am a fan of cooking in foil...well, let me change that to read cooking in parchment paper, which is like cooking in foil, but I just happen to prefer parchment paper over foil. I always think the foil part is going to react badly with any acid in the food, with parchment paper you don't have to worry about it. Cooking in parchment lets you assemble everything ahead of time and simply place it on a tray and into the oven when it is time to bake it for dinner. Cleanup is easy, just toss the paper into the trash. 
This is a wonderful recipe...I loved everything about it, the flavors, the combination of ingredients, and the end result of having a lovely baked fish with vegetables all ready to eat in one small packet. Definitely a repeat. Often.
