Steamed Vegetables

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine squash, beans, garlic, lemon juice and black pepper. Make a pouch for steaming the vegetables by placing two pieces of aluminum foil (big enough to hold vegetables) side by side. Spray one sheet with cooking spray and place vegetables on top. Place the second piece of foil over the vegetables and fold edges of top and bottom foil pieces to create a sealed pocket around vegetables. Place on baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
  2. Very carefully open pouch of steamed vegetables. Steam will release when pouch is opened and will be very hot. Serve alongside fish.

  3. Remove fish from marinade, gently wiping off excess yogurt, leaving only a thin coating on fish. Discard remaining marinade. Place fish filets in a baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake for about 12 minutes, just until fish begins to flake apart slightly.
