Steps:
- Preheat the grill to high (between 450-500 degrees)
- For each packet, you will need 2 large (about 20 inches long) sheets of foil, or just 1 sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil.
- Create four packet making stations with the foil, then spray each with cooking spray or brush with olive oil.
- Mix together seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dill) in a bowl. Layer each foil packet with one tilapia fillet and 1/4 of the veggies. Sprinkle evenly with the seasoning mixture, turning the fish over to coat both sides.
- Place several slivers of butter on top of each packet, a few on both the fish and the veggies. Put two slices of lemon on top of the fish, then toss the capers over everything.
- Fold the long sides of the foil in towards the center and roll over to seal, then roll up the short edges.
- Place on the preheated grill, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes. If the fillets were frozen, add a few minutes to the cooking time.
- To serve, carefully remove the fish from the grill and peel back the foil layer. Fish are done when they are white (not translucent) and flake easily with a fork. Serve in the foil packet or on plates with the sauce from the bottom of the packet.

- Prep Your Veggies: Cut vegetables into uniform sizes so they cook evenly. Consider using a mandoline for precise and consistent slices.
- Don't Overcrowd: Avoid packing the foil packets too tightly. Leave some space for the ingredients to steam and cook properly.
- Seal Properly: Fold and seal the foil packets tightly to prevent steam and juices from escaping. Double-wrapping the packets can provide extra protection against leaks.
- Adjust Cooking Times: Cooking times may vary depending on the type of fish, thickness of the fillets, and your desired doneness. Check the internal temperature of the fish to ensure it's cooked through.
