Grilled Tilapia In Foil Packets Recipes

GRILLED TILAPIA IN FOIL (FISH FOIL PACKETS)

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high heat, about 375-425 degrees F.
• Cut 4 large squares of aluminum foil, place on a baking sheet and fold up edges to form pouch.
• Place fish on the bottom of foil. Drizzle with olive oil (about 1 teaspoon per fillet) and sprinkle with garlic powder and salt.
• Divide corn, peppers, onion, and grape tomatoes over the top of the fish. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Fold sides of aluminum foil together, to create a tent and roll edges together, ensuring there are no gaps as you fold the sides together.
• Place foil packets directly over heat and cook for 10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily. Set fish aside. If you aren't eating the meal immediately, be sure to open up the packets to vent or they will continue cooking.
• Meanwhile, brush bread with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt. Grill bread for about 2-4 minutes per side, or until lightly charred.

GRILLED MEDITERRANEAN TILAPIA FOIL PACKS

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. In medium bowl, stir together tomatoes, artichoke hearts and olives; set aside.
• Cut 2 (18-inch-long) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Place 1 tilapia fillet in center of each sheet. Spoon tomato mixture evenly over tilapia. Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
• Place packets on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork.
• Open packets carefully. Sprinkle salt and pepper over top; serve with lemon wedges.

FOIL PACKET GRILLED TILAPIA WITH VEGGIES

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.

Put the packets on a sheet pan and bake until the fish becomes fragrant, 20 to 25 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets; let cool for 3 minutes.
