Ingredients

• 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
• 12 pieces Baby potatoes
• 2 medium Zucchini
• 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 large Lemon
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 4 pieces Foil sheets

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Scrub the baby potatoes clean and slice them into thin rounds about 1/4 inch thick for even cooking.

Step 3

Trim the ends of the zucchini and slice them into thin rounds, similar in thickness to the potatoes.

Step 4

Clean the cremini mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them into halves or quarters depending on their size.

Step 5

Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the fresh parsley.

Step 6

Cut the lemon in half. Slice one half into thin rounds and juice the other half into a small bowl.

Step 7

Tear off 4 large sheets of foil, each approximately 12x18 inches, ensuring enough space to fold and seal the packets properly.

Step 8

Place equal portions of potatoes, zucchini, and mushrooms in the center of each foil sheet to create a bed for the fish.

Step 9

Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the vegetables on each sheet, followed by a sprinkle of salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.

Step 10

Lay one tilapia fillet on top of the vegetable mixture in each packet.

Step 11

Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice over each fillet. Place a lemon slice and a garnish of chopped parsley on top of each fish.

Step 12

Fold the foil sheets up around the fish and vegetables, crimping the edges tightly to form a sealed packet.

Step 13

Place the packets on the preheated grill and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the tilapia is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 14

Carefully remove the packets from the grill and let them cool for 2-3 minutes before opening to avoid steam burns.

Step 15

Serve directly in the foil packets or transfer the contents to plates for a wholesome and flavorful meal.
