Categories     Fish & Seafood

Time 30m

4 (4-6 oz.) tilapia fillets
1 zucchini, sliced

  • 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.
