Baked fish in foil packets

Over the past couple of months dinners have been hectic.  We ate out a lot and didn't eat healthy that's for sure.  But one meal I made at least once a week.  It was the baked fish in foil packets.  One of my favorite things about this recipe is that you can do so much with it.  The basic recipe is below but I would change it up a bit by using a different fish (salmon, cod, tilapia) whatever we had on hand, different veggies and added a sauce.  

Ingredients:
1 lb of fish- (i used flounder)
2 handfuls of baby spinach
1 quarter of an onion
20 or so little tomatoes
Strips of zucchini
4 sprigs of thyme
1/2 lemon
salt and pepper
oil

Directions: Preheat oven to 400'.  Lay out two sheets of foil.  Pile zucchini on the bottom then had a handful of spinach to each packet.  Lay fish on top and season with salt and pepper.  Add the onion, tomatoes, and thyme.  Squeeze the lemon juice on top and add the oil.  Close the foil and lay side by side on the baking sheet.  Bake for 18-22 and enjoy!!!   

Other variations I have used Salmon-honey-pecans-spinach-cauliflower.   Tilapia-zucchini-squash-cajun seasoning.
