Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 medium Yellow squash
- 1 pint Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 Lemon
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 large sheets Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the zucchini and yellow squash into thin rounds. Cut the red bell pepper into thin strips. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Mince the garlic cloves.
Lay out 4 large sheets of aluminum foil on a flat surface.
Place one tilapia fillet in the center of each foil sheet.
Divide the sliced zucchini, yellow squash, cherry tomatoes, and red bell pepper strips evenly among the packets, arranging them around the fish.
Drizzle each packet with about 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and squeeze a wedge of lemon over the top. Sprinkle each packet with minced garlic, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Fold the foil sheets over the fish and vegetables, crimping the edges to seal tightly and create a packet. Make sure there are no holes or gaps.
Place the foil packets on the preheated grill or in the oven. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully open the foil packets (watching out for hot steam) and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional parsley and a lemon wedge.
