Ingredients

  • 6 Tilapia (or other white fish) fillets, fresh or frozen
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp rosemary
  • 12 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Bell Pepper slices (I used some slices from a tri-color package of peppers since I had that on hand.)
  • 1/4 onion, sliced

Instructions

  • Fold a double layer of aluminum foil into a square. Place 1 tilapia fillet into the middle of the square. Repeat the process for each fillet.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice and seasonings. Place pepper and onion slices on top of each fillet, then drizzle with olive oil blend, about 2 teaspoons per fillet.
  • Fold up the edges and close each packet. Freeze or cook immediately. To cook right away, place packets on a cookie sheet and cook at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until the fish is fully cooked. (Increase cooking time if using frozen fish fillets.) Or, place packets on a grill and cook until done.
  • If you freeze the packets right after putting them together, cook as above straight from the freezer and increase the cooking time about 10 minutes.
