FISH IN FOIL



Fish in Foil image

The 'no smell' fish recipe that is the ONLY one I make for my family (I hate fish, they LOVE it!). Take foil packets to table for service, and keep them around for the discarding of bones and skin. Then when dinner's done, haul those babies to the outside trash.

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 rainbow trout fillets
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, sliced
1 lemon, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Rinse fish, and pat dry.
  • Rub fillets with olive oil, and season with garlic salt and black pepper. Place each fillet on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Top with jalapeno slices, and squeeze the juice from the ends of the lemons over the fish. Arrange lemon slices on top of fillets. Carefully seal all edges of the foil to form enclosed packets.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: Firm-fleshed fish like salmon, tilapia, or halibut are best for grilling in foil packs. They can withstand the high heat without falling apart.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your grilled fish foil packs the best flavor. Avoid using frozen or canned ingredients, as they can make your dish taste bland.
  • Season your fish and vegetables well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt, pepper, and other seasonings on your fish and vegetables. This will help them to develop a delicious flavor. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil or melted butter to help keep them moist.
  • Seal your foil packs tightly: Make sure to seal your foil packs tightly before grilling them. This will help to keep the steam and flavor inside the packs, resulting in a more flavorful dish.
  • Cook your fish foil packs over medium heat: Medium heat is best for grilling fish foil packs. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Serve your fish foil packs immediately: Once your fish foil packs are cooked, serve them immediately. This will help to ensure that the fish is hot and flaky, and the vegetables are still crisp.

Grilled Mexican fish foil packs are a delicious and easy way to cook fish. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a casual gathering.
