Dietitians Tip:  Add as many vegetables as you like. Especially if you are not a big fan of vegetables, this is a great way to add them in your plate since they are baked slowly, absorbing the fluids of the wine, the lemon and the fish. Garlic and thyme are two optional ingredients that you can add in this plate for extra flavor and vitamins!
