This was really great! This was my first "foil packet" dinner and I was amazed at how perfectly it cooked fish. I've had some bad experiences with baked fish as I like fish WELL done and most baking recipes make it too mushy for my tastes. Not knowing the foil packet method, I upped the cooking time by 10 minutes and actually wished I'd followed the directlons as stated since the fish were slightly dry...my fault. The steaming method was PERFECTION. The flavor was excellent and the bean/tomato/pesto accompaniment was wonderful. Served with rice. YUM! Definitely a repeater for us!! Thank you for a winner!

Absolutely delicious and dead easy with the wonderful bonus of no pan to clean! I used a lovely piece of fresh cod, halved some cherry tomatoes, and used coarsely ground black pepper, otherwise followed instructions. Loved it, KelBel--many thnks!

What a fantastic recipe for halibut! I incresaed this recipe to 4 halibut. I love cooking fish in foil packets, the fish is so moist! I served this with a small Greek salad... The halibut was so delicious, this is a keeper, thank you KelBel!...Kitten

I love foil-pack recipes; they are so easy to cook, no clean-up and the food always turns out so moist! I made these using tilapia instead of halibut and adding more pesto. I baked these in the oven. We really enjoyed this - and so easy!
