Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or halibut)
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 medium yellow squash
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 sheets aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the zucchini, yellow squash, and red bell pepper into thin strips. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Mince the garlic and chop the fresh parsley.
Cut 4 large sheets of aluminum foil, each approximately 12x16 inches.
Place a fish fillet in the center of each foil sheet. Season both sides of the fillets with salt and black pepper.
Divide the sliced vegetables evenly among the foil sheets, arranging them around the fish fillets.
Drizzle each packet with 3/4 tablespoon of olive oil and squeeze a quarter of the lemon over the top of each bundle.
Sprinkle the minced garlic and chopped parsley evenly over the fish and vegetables.
Fold the foil around the fish and vegetables to create tightly sealed packets, ensuring no steam will escape.
Place the foil bundles on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 22–25 minutes or until the fish is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully open each packet, being wary of hot steam. Serve the fish bundles directly from the foil or transfer them to plates for a beautiful presentation.
