Ingredients

• 4 pieces Fish fillet (e.g., salmon, cod, or tilapia)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Lemon
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 cups Mixed vegetables (e.g., zucchini, bell peppers, or broccoli), chopped
• 4 sheets Foil sheets

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Prepare four large sheets of foil, each big enough to completely wrap a fish fillet and accompanying vegetables.

Step 3

Pat each fish fillet dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Step 4

Slice the lemon into thin rounds and set aside.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 6

Place one fish fillet in the center of each foil sheet.

Step 7

Brush the marinade evenly over each fillet, reserving a small amount to drizzle over the vegetables.

Step 8

Top each fillet with 2-3 lemon slices.

Step 9

Around each fillet, arrange an even distribution of cherry tomatoes and mixed vegetables.

Step 10

Drizzle the reserved marinade over the vegetables and season them with a pinch of salt and pepper, if desired.

Step 11

Fold the sides of the foil over the fish and vegetables, creating a sealed packet. Ensure the edges are tightly folded to prevent steam from escaping.

Step 12

Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and carefully open each foil packet to let the steam escape.

Step 14

Serve the fish and vegetables directly from the foil or transfer to a plate. Enjoy your healthy foil-baked fish meal!
