Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tilapia fillets
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
¼ onion, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced, or to taste
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

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.

This recipe is a great starting point. I like to add some extra spices to the lemon-herb butter, such as paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tilapia turned out dry and bland. I followed the recipe exactly.

I added some chopped tomatoes and onions to the foil packets and it gave the dish a nice Mediterranean flavor.

I used cod instead of tilapia and it turned out great. This recipe is very versatile.

The tilapia was a little dry, but the lemon-herb butter helped to add some moisture.
