My husband does a lot of fishing, so I'm always looking for different ways to serve his catches. A professional chef was kind enough to share this recipe with me, and I played around with some different veggie combinations until I found the one my family liked best. —Kathy Morrow, Hubbard, Ohio


Test Kitchen tips
  • Great northern beans are small, tender white beans, and navy beans or cannellini beans are good substitutes.
  • If you hate to open a bottle of wine just for 1/4 cup, look for wine in single-portion plastic bottles. The small bottles are convenient for using in recipes.

    Prep Time 15 min
    Cook Time 15 min
    Yield 4 servings

    Ingredients

    • 1 can (15 ounces) great northern beans, rinsed and drained
    • 4 plum tomatoes, chopped
    • 1 small zucchini, chopped
    • 1 medium onion, chopped
    • 1 garlic clove, minced
    • 1/4 cup white wine
    • 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
    • 1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
    • 4 tilapia fillets (6 ounces each)
    • 1 medium lemon, cut into 8 thin slices

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 400°. In a bowl, combine beans, tomatoes, zucchini, onion, garlic, wine, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
    2. Rinse fish and pat dry. Place each fillet on an 18x12-inch piece of heavy-duty foil; season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Spoon bean mixture over fish; top with lemon slices. Fold foil around fish and crimp edges to seal. Transfer packets to a baking sheet.
    3. Bake until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork and vegetables are tender, 15-20 minutes. Be careful of escaping steam when opening packets.
