Ingredients
2 halibut filets, one-inch thick (about 1/2-pound each)1 handful of fresh spinach leaves1 small to medium ripe tomato, cut into thin wedges1 quarter of a red onion, sliced2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided4 sprigs fresh thyme1/2 lemon, cut into 2 wedgessalt and pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lay out two sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each about 12-14 inches long. Divide the spinach leaves among the two sheets, laying them close together in the middle. Lay one piece of halibut on each bed of spinach. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Divide the tomato wedges and onion slices between the two pieces of fish, laying them on top. Add one tablespoon of butter, cut into small pieces, to each, scattering the pieces over the fish and vegetables. Add two sprigs of thyme to each packet, squeeze a wedge of lemon over each, and add the lemon to the pile. Sprinkle another pinch of salt and pepper over each.

Fold up the edges of the foil to create a closed packet and bake, on a baking sheet, for about 20 minutes, just until the fish is opaque. Serve immediately, in the packets.
