Roasted Alaskan Flounder with Lima Beans

This is such a light, yet filling dish.  The fish is super moist and flavorful, while the lima beans provide a little more tasty texture.  I served ours over some rice, with a nice side of tomato salad.  If you cannot find Alaskan Flounder, you can substitute it with cod, tilapia, or any other white firm fish you might like.  Enjoy!
Ingredients:
-about 10 oz frozen baby lima beans, divided into 4
-4 tsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
-4 tsp dried parsley, divided
-salt and pepper, to taste
-4 (4 oz each) fillets Alaskan Flounder
-8 Tbs apple juice, divided
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Place 4 large pieces of aluminum foil on your kitchen counter.  On each piece of foil, place a fourth of the lima beans.  Top with 1 tsp olive oil, 1 tsp parsley, salt and pepper.  Gently mix.  Place a piece of fish on top.  Add the apple juice, and a little more salt and pepper.  Gently seal the foil packet and place on baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes.  Once cooked, carefully open the packets as there will be a lot of steam trapped in and you might burn yourself.  Serve immediately.  Enjoy!
