Fresh Cod in a Paper Bag with Zucchini, Tomatoes, and Mint might be just the main course you are searching for. This recipe covers 28% of your daily requirements of vitamins and minerals. One serving contains 437 calories, 34g of protein, and 27g of fat. This recipe serves 2. If you have mint, basil, cod, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the unsalted butter you could follow this main course with the Almond Milk Chocolate Pudding as a dessert. It is a good option if you're following a gluten free, primal, and pescatarian diet.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Assemble the packets: Tear off two large recangles of parchment or foil, about 12- by 24-inches. Fold each over crosswise to crease, then open again. Divide the zucchini between the two and spread them out in a small pile one half of the parchment, leaving a one-inch border. On top of each bed of zucchini, place the cod, and season everything with salt and pepper. Then top with half the chili, garlic, basil, mint, and tomatoes. Over each packet, spoon 1 tablespoon each of olive oil, butter, and wine.

For the packets in half, then seal the edges by crimping, starting at one corner and slowly working your way around. (I find a strategically placed staple really helps the parchment packets stay sealed. For traditional papillote folding technique, see here).

Place the sealed packets on a baking sheet, and bake until fish is cooked, about 12 minutes.

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir

Cod works really well with Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. You could try Menage a Trois Limelight Pinot Grigio. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 11 dollars per bottle.
