Foil Packet Grilled Tilapia with Veggies

Tilapia is cooked in a foil packet on the grill with summer vegetables, butter, and lemon for a super fast, flavorful, and healthy summer meal!

📝 Ingredients

• 4 tilapia fillets (6 oz each )
• 1 zucchini (sliced)
• 1 yellow squash (sliced)
• 1/2 lb. asparagus (trimmed and cut into thirds)
• 1 1/4 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried dill
• 1 large lemon or 2 smaller lemons (thinly sliced)
• 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into thin slivers)
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons capers
• Cooking spray
• Foil

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat the grill to high (between 450-500 degrees)
2. 2For each packet, you will need 2 large (about 20 inches long) sheets of foil, or just 1 sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil.
3. 3Create four packet making stations with the foil, then spray each with cooking spray or brush with olive oil.
4. 4Mix 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.
5. 5Place 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.
6. 6Fold the long sides of the foil in towards the center and roll over to seal, then roll up the short edges.
7. 7Place on the preheated grill, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes. If the fillets were frozen, add a few minutes to the cooking time.
8. 8To 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.
