Ingredients

• 4 pieces fish fillets (such as salmon, cod, or tilapia)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 whole lemon
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 1 whole zucchini (thinly sliced)
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 sheets aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375-400°F (190-200°C).

Step 2

Cut the lemon into thin slices. Mince the garlic and chop the fresh parsley and dill.

Step 3

Prepare four large sheets of aluminum foil, each approximately 12x18 inches.

Step 4

Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in the center of each foil sheet. Place a fish fillet on top of the oil.

Step 5

Season the fish with a pinch of salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 6

Top each fillet with 2-3 slices of lemon, a sprinkle of minced garlic, parsley, and dill.

Step 7

Arrange a few slices of zucchini and a handful of halved cherry tomatoes around the fish fillet on each foil sheet.

Step 8

Drizzle another 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over the fish and vegetables.

Step 9

Fold the sides of each foil sheet up and over the fish, then fold the edges together to seal, creating a tightly sealed packet.

Step 10

Place the foil packets on the preheated grill. Cook for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish, until it flakes easily with a fork.

Step 11

Carefully remove the foil packets from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before opening.

Step 12

Serve the grilled fish in foil packets directly or transfer the contents to a serving plate. Enjoy your meal!
