Categories     Fish & Seafood

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 (4-6 oz.) tilapia fillets
1 zucchini, sliced
1 yellow squash, sliced
½ lb. asparagus, trimmed and cut into thirds

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.

Tips:

Just use about half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh. - For a more flavorful dish, try marinating the tilapia in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs before grilling. - If you're using a charcoal grill, be sure to preheat it for at least 15 minutes before cooking the tilapia. - Serve the grilled tilapia with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
