Ingredients

    2 halibut filets, one-inch thick (about 1/2-pound each)
    1 handful of fresh spinach leaves
    1 small to medium ripe tomato, cut into thin wedges
    1 quarter of a red onion, sliced
    2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
    4 sprigs fresh thyme
    1/2 lemon, cut into 2 wedges
    salt 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.
