Halibut And Veggie Foil Packet Food

GRILLED HALIBUT IN FOIL PACKETS

Steps:

• Preheat your grill. If cooking in the oven, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Cut one 12x18 piece of heavy duty foil for each fish packet. Spray with cooking spray.
• Place one filet on each piece of foil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Layer with onion rings and pepper rings. Drizzle with olive oil and place a small pat of butter on top.
• Add three lemon slices on top of each filet and top with fresh sprigs of thyme.
• Fold foil over fish until edges meet. Seal by folding foil to create packet (see photo in post). Repeat for the end of the packet. Be sure to leave space for steam to circulate.
• Place on hot grill and cover, grilling for 7 minutes. Flip packets and continue to cook for 8 minutes or until you can flake fish with a fork and vegetables are tender. If baking, place on cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
• Be careful opening foil packets as the steam will be hot. You can serve the foil packet on a plate, cut an X on the top of each packet and fold back the foil. If you prefer not to serve the fish in the foil, you can also use a slotted spatula to remove the fish and place on a plate. Serve with vegetables and lemon slices on top and drizzle juices from foil pack before serving.

HALIBUT AND VEGGIE FOIL PACKET RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat outdoor grill to medium heat or indoor oven to 400 degrees. Prepare 4 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil at least 16" x 12". Season each halibut filet on all sides with salt and pepper then set aside.
• Spray the center of each piece of foil with cooking spray and add a quarter of the sliced zucchini to each sheet. Divide the onion and bell pepper evenly among each packet and season all the veggies lightly with salt and pepper.
• Place one seasoned filet on top of each bed of veggies and sprinkle with your choice of chopped fresh herb and parsley. Lay 2-3 slices of lemon on top of each piece of fish and drizzle approximately 1 tsp of olive oil over the fish and veggies.
• Fold long sides of foil up and over and bring edges together. Roll the foil together, moving downward until 1-2" from the top of the fish. Fold both short ends together to seal the packet but make sure to leave enough space inside the packet for steam expansion.
• Place packets directly on grill or on a baking sheet in the oven. Grill them 8-9 minutes or bake 12-14 minutes in the oven or until veggies are tender and fish is barely cooked through. Remove from grill or oven and carefully open packets to allow steam to escape. Enjoy!
