Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 4 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 4 sheets Aluminum foil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Prepare 4 sheets of aluminum foil, each large enough to wrap one tilapia fillet with toppings.
Step 3
Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 4
Slice the lemon into thin rounds and set aside. Mince the garlic cloves.
Step 5
Halve the cherry tomatoes, then set them aside in a mixing bowl.
Step 6
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the cherry tomatoes. Add the minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Step 7
Place one tilapia fillet in the center of each foil sheet. Season each fillet with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Step 8
Top each fillet with a handful of the seasoned cherry tomatoes and a sprig of fresh rosemary.
Step 9
Place 2-3 lemon slices on top of each fillet.
Step 10
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the fish and toppings.
Step 11
Fold the foil over the fish and toppings to create a sealed packet. Make sure edges are tightly crimped to prevent steam from escaping.
Step 12
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tilapia is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 13
Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for hot steam) and transfer the contents to a plate.
Step 14
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful and healthy foil pack tilapia!
