During our long 5 hour drive back to Minneapolis today I was paging though a ton of cooking magazine and came across a Foil Packet Fish with a Corn Relish in the June 2010 issue of Food Network Magazine and I knew it would be dinner tonight! We stopped at the St. Paul Farmers market on the way home for a bucketload of herbs and a few veggies for the week.
We got home about 12:30 and opted to quickly unpack and take a nap, after two night of less than 5 hours of sleep each we were really tired. An hour long nap and we knew we should get a workout in. It would make us feel better and not so tired. 30 minutes on the elliptical listening to The FitCast podcast and a good weight lifting session.

I felt so much better and actually had a little energy 
We stopped to pick up Clifford at Kimchi’s house and he was just so excited to see us. I missed his furry little face and kisses. Mike fired up the grill and I got prepping.
Ingredients
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 cup fresh parsley
1 cup fresh cilantro
1 inch piece of ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Salt
1 can of corn
1 heirloom tomato
Mahi Mahi (or any other white fish)
Directions
Preheat a grill to high. Toast coriander seeds in a dry skillet over medium high heat, tossing, about 3 minutes. Crush the seeds and add to food processor with the parsley, cilantro, ginger, vegetable oil, salt and 1 tablespoon of water.
Toss the corn and tomatoes with 3 teaspoons of the herb mixtures in a bowl and season with salt
Tear off foil sheets for each piece of fish. Please fish in center and top with herb mixture while placing tomato and corn relish on the sides of the fish. Fold up foil packets, but leave room for circulation.
Grill the packets, covered, until the fish is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Place a foil pack on each plate and open very carefully!
We served the fish with a salad of organic mixed greens, kohlrabi, sugar snap peas and a few mixed berries. The fish had wonderful flavor from the herb mixture and the coriander really stood out. This was light, full of flavor and a great way to get a whole dinner out of 1 packet.
To top of our delicious dinner we opened a nice light rose from Villa Gardeana. It had nice acidity and a crisp finish.
