My friend got this recipe off of Epicurious where it is touted as Tori Amos' favorite recipe. It is certainly popular with our husbands. It has a spicy sweetness to it. We live in too small of a town to find banana leaves so it is parchment paper for us. Coconut rice.makes a nice accompaniment.

Tips:

To ensure the tilapia fillets cook evenly and stay moist, pat them dry with paper towels before wrapping them in the foil packets.
Use a variety of vegetables in your foil packets to add flavor and nutrients. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, broccoli, carrots, and mushrooms.
Feel free to adjust the seasonings in the recipe to suit your taste. For a spicier dish, add a pinch of chili powder or red pepper flakes. For a more savory dish, add a tablespoon of soy sauce or oyster sauce.
Be careful not to overcook the tilapia fillets. They should be cooked through but still moist and flaky. Overcooked tilapia will be dry and tough.

Conclusion:

Baked tilapia wrapped in foil is a delicious and healthy way to cook this versatile fish. By wrapping the tilapia in foil, you can create a moist and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. Serve the tilapia with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or potatoes.
