Equipment
- 1 grill preheated to medium-high heat
- 1 Medium bowl
- 1 aluminum foil heavy-duty
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 fish fillets such as salmon, cod, or tilapia
- 1 large zucchini sliced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
Marinade
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Rinse the fish fillets and pat them dry. Slice the zucchini and bell pepper. Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Brush the fish fillets with the marinade. Let them sit for a few minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
- Place each fish fillet on a piece of aluminum foil. Top with sliced zucchini, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle remaining marinade over the top.
- Fold the foil over the fish and vegetables, crimping the edges to seal tightly. Leave some space inside for steam.
Serving
- Place foil packets on the preheated grill. Close the lid and grill for 12-15 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
- Carefully open the packets to avoid hot steam. Serve hot with your choice of side dishes and sauces.
Storage
- Allow leftover packets to cool completely. Transfer to airtight containers and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven or on the grill until warm. Do not microwave as the foil may cause sparks.
