Grilled Tilapia In Foil Packets Recipes

FOIL PACKET GRILLED TILAPIA WITH VEGGIES

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high (between 450-500 degrees)
• For each packet, you will need 2 large (about 20 inches long) sheets of foil, or just 1 sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil.
• Create four packet making stations with the foil, then spray each with cooking spray or brush with olive oil.
• Mix together seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dill) in a bowl. Layer each foil packet with one tilapia fillet and 1/4 of the veggies. Sprinkle evenly with the seasoning mixture, turning the fish over to coat both sides.
• Place several slivers of butter on top of each packet, a few on both the fish and the veggies. Put two slices of lemon on top of the fish, then toss the capers over everything.
• Fold the long sides of the foil in towards the center and roll over to seal, then roll up the short edges.
• Place on the preheated grill, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes. If the fillets were frozen, add a few minutes to the cooking time.
• To serve, carefully remove the fish from the grill and peel back the foil layer. Fish are done when they are white (not translucent) and flake easily with a fork. Serve in the foil packet or on plates with the sauce from the bottom of the packet.
