Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 4 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 4 sheets Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare 4 sheets of aluminum foil, each large enough to wrap one tilapia fillet with toppings.
Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Slice the lemon into thin rounds and set aside. Mince the garlic cloves.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, then set them aside in a mixing bowl.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the cherry tomatoes. Add the minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Place one tilapia fillet in the center of each foil sheet. Season each fillet with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Top each fillet with a handful of the seasoned cherry tomatoes and a sprig of fresh rosemary.
Place 2-3 lemon slices on top of each fillet.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the fish and toppings.
Fold the foil over the fish and toppings to create a sealed packet. Make sure edges are tightly crimped to prevent steam from escaping.
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tilapia is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for hot steam) and transfer the contents to a plate.
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful and healthy foil pack tilapia!
