Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup Fresh Cilantro finely chopped
  • 3-4 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 4 Tilapia Fillet or any flaky, white fish like flounder, or sole
  • 1 Lime sliced into quarters
  • Assorted Vegetables such as yellow squash, zucchini, or bell peppers
  • Salt to taste
  • Black Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Tear off a piece of aluminum foil approximately 18-20” long. Spray or brush a small amount of olive oil on the foil. Place the fish on the foil, and spread the cilantro-olive oil mixture on the top of the fish. Squeeze the lime wedges on top of the fish and then leave wedges in the pouch next to the fish.
  • Cover the fish with a second, similarly sized piece of foil. Fold the edges together, and then fold them over again in create secure, sealed edges on all sides.
  • Preheat the grill on medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, slice the vegetables and generously brush with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Place the foil pouch along with the vegetables on the grill.
  • Grill for approximately 8-10 minutes, or roughly 4-5 minutes per ½” thickness of the fish. (The vegetables will likely need to be turned after 4-5 minutes.)
