Grilled Tilapia Packets With Mushrooms, Zucchini and Potatoes

Recipe #371323 | 12 min | add private note

Cooking fish on foil packets results in delicious moist flavors and practically zero clean-up. Try experimenting with other vegetables - you never know what you might discover.

Directions

  1. 1
    Cut four 8x14 pieces of foil.
  2. 2
    .Preheat barbecue to medium.

This is a fantastic recipe. It is so light tasting and simple to make. The foil packets are some of my favorites, as there is so little cleanup. The only trouble I had was with the parmesan sticking to the foil. Next time I might try putting it on top of the veggies, under the fish. Thanks for a delcious idea that I'll definitely make again.

    FANTASTIC!! DELICIOUS!! Modified this for lo-carb eating by eliminating the potatoes, and adding 1 sliced red pepper. Also added salt/pepper to the veggies before cooking, and six thin slices of fresh ginger under the veggies. I baked it at 370 for 18 minutes. And it was great. Loved using the aluminum pouch for this. Definitely a repeat.

    Made this for dinner tonight. I used catfish instead of tilapia, and I brushed the veggies with a small amount of oil then went ahead and sprinkled with S and P. Otherwise I followed as directed. And it was absolutely amazing. This is definitely a keeper. Thanks for the post mariajane!!
