Tilapia Foil Packets Recipes

GARLIC BAKED TILAPIA IN FOIL WITH ASPARAGUS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F (or preheat grill to medium).
• Place each tilapia filet on a piece of tinfoil large enough to fold and enclose tightly.
• Season each filet with salt and pepper.
• Divide remaining ingredients by four. Top tilapia filets with garlic, then butter and lemon slices. Add asparagus and tomatoes to packets, then seal packets tightly (see video for demonstration).
• Place packets on grill or on a baking sheet in the oven. Bake 10 minutes or until tilapia is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
• Serve in foil packets or remove and place on serving plates. Serve immediately.

GRILLED TILAPIA IN FOIL PACKETS

Steps:

• Season tilapia with salt and pepper. Place olive oil and garlic in a bowl or resealable bag and add seasoned tilapia. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
• Place each tilapia fillet onto its own aluminum foil square. Use the fish to smear the tin foil with olive oil. Spoon diced tomatoes, onion, and jalapeno evenly over fillets. Top with bell pepper and cilantro. Fold packets up like envelopes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook fillets on the preheated grill until easily flaked with a fork, about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking time.

TILAPIA FOIL PACKETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lay 4 sheets of aluminum foil on a work surface.
• Place 1 tilapia fillet in the center of each piece of foil, and top with 1/2 tablespoon butter. Sprinkle each fillet with dill, garlic powder, pepper, and salt. Fold foil over top and roll up edges to create a sealed packet. Place packets on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes.

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.

TILAPIA FOIL PACKETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Lay each fillet out on its own piece of foil. The foil should be a few inches longer than the fillet. Drizzle each fillet with the olive oil.
• Combine the garlic, tomatoes, shallots, thyme and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Top each fillet with the tomato mixture. Fold over the fillet and roll up the edges to create a seal. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve removed from the foil with veggies on the top and any sauce drizzled over the fish.

TILAPIA FOIL PACKETS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Whisk together the white wine, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl.
• 2. Place each tilapia fillet on a separate 14-by-12-inch piece of nonstick foil. Drizzle one-quarter of the white wine mixture over each fish fillet and top with one-quarter of the tomatoes, capers and thyme. Fold the foil up over each piece of fish and seal to create a 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. Open the packets, sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon salt evenly over the fillets and serve.
