Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 12 small Baby potatoes
- 2 large Carrots
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Directions
Step 1
Begin by prepping your ingredients. Wash and pat dry the fish fillets. Slice the baby potatoes into halves, the carrots into thin sticks, and the zucchini into rounds.
Step 2
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Chop the fresh parsley, and cut the lemon into slices.
Step 3
Tear four large sheets of aluminum foil, each approximately 12 inches by 18 inches. Lay them flat on your work surface.
Step 4
In the center of each sheet, arrange an even amount of sliced potatoes, carrots, and zucchini. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the vegetables in each packet.
Step 5
Place a fish fillet on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle each fillet evenly with minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Place one or two lemon slices on top of each fish fillet, and a small pat of butter (about 1/2 tablespoon per packet).
Step 7
Bring the shorter ends of the foil together over the fish and fold them closed tightly, then fold in the sides to seal the packet completely.
Step 8
Place the packets on a campfire grill grate or preheated barbecue grill. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning the packets halfway through, until the fish is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Step 9
Carefully open the packets (watch out for the hot steam) and serve directly from the foil for a rustic camping experience. Enjoy!
