5 Healthy Summertime Meals with 5 Minutes Prep

De-lish Fish Dish (This makes one serving, just double, triple, etc for each additional serving)

Ingredients:

• 6 oz. raw cod, bass, or favorite white fish
• 2 slices lemon
• 1 tsp. I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Light
• 1/2 tsp. chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 tsp. crushed garlic
• 1/8 tsp. salt
• 8 thin (or 6 thick) asparagus stalks, tough ends removed

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Combine butter, parsley, garlic, and salt in a small bowl and mix. It will form a thick paste. Set aside.
3. Lay a large piece of heavy-duty foil in front of you. Line up the asparagus side by side in the center of the foil. Place the fish on top of the asparagus (as if the stalks are a boat for it).
4. Spread the garlicky butter paste evenly over the fish, and top with lemon slices. Fold and seal the top and bottom edges of the foil, and then the side edges. Make sure you have a well-sealed packet.
5. Place packet on a baking sheet. Cook in the oven until asparagus is tender and fish is cooked through for about 15 minutes.
6. Allow packet to cool for a few minutes. Cut the foil to release steam before opening it entirely. Be careful since the steam will be hot.

Busy Burrito (can be open-face or rolled into burrito shape)

Ingredients:

• 1, 6” or 8” whole wheat tortilla (ideally 130 calories or less)
• 1/3 cup beans (kidney, black bean or favorite bean)
• ½ cup cut romaine lettuce
• ½ cup diced tomato
• ¼ cup corn
• ¼ cup low fat cheese
• salsa (optional)

Directions: Lay tortilla flat on plate. For an open-faced burrito, combine all ingredients and place on top of the tortilla. Bake until warm and cheese is melted. If you want a true burrito, after mixing all ingredients, place them in the center of the tortilla and roll the tortilla around ingredients, tucking sides in. Bake until warm and cheese has melted.
