Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillet (e.g., salmon, cod, or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Lemon
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cups Mixed vegetables (e.g., zucchini, bell peppers, or broccoli), chopped
- 4 sheets Foil sheets
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare four large sheets of foil, each big enough to completely wrap a fish fillet and accompanying vegetables.
Pat each fish fillet dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Slice the lemon into thin rounds and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place one fish fillet in the center of each foil sheet.
Brush the marinade evenly over each fillet, reserving a small amount to drizzle over the vegetables.
Top each fillet with 2-3 lemon slices.
Around each fillet, arrange an even distribution of cherry tomatoes and mixed vegetables.
Drizzle the reserved marinade over the vegetables and season them with a pinch of salt and pepper, if desired.
Fold the sides of the foil over the fish and vegetables, creating a sealed packet. Ensure the edges are tightly folded to prevent steam from escaping.
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and carefully open each foil packet to let the steam escape.
Serve the fish and vegetables directly from the foil or transfer to a plate. Enjoy your healthy foil-baked fish meal!
