Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or halibut)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large lemon
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
- 4 sheets aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut four large sheets of aluminum foil, each big enough to fully wrap a fish fillet and its accompanying vegetables.
Place a fish fillet in the center of each foil sheet.
Drizzle each fillet with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil.
Cut the lemon in half. Slice one half into thin rounds and juice the other half. Place 1-2 slices of lemon on top of each fillet.
Mince the garlic cloves and sprinkle evenly over the fish fillets.
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it, along with the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper, over the fish.
Divide the cherry tomatoes and zucchini slices evenly among the four foil packets, arranging them around the fish.
Squeeze the lemon juice (from the juiced half) evenly into each packet for added flavor.
Fold the edges of the foil up and crimp tightly to seal each packet, ensuring no steam can escape.
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the packets from the oven and let them rest for a minute. Be cautious when opening them, as hot steam will escape.
Serve the fish and vegetables directly from the foil packets or transfer to a plate for an elegant presentation. Enjoy!
