Fish Foil Packs
Here’s another way to prepare fish in aluminum foil – this one is a complete meal. This is a delicious combination – I’ve made it as a shore lunch for groups I’ve taken fishing and they raved about how good it tastes.
The cooked lemon slices are really delicious!
Fish Foil Packs
Ingredients
- 18 ” wide heavy duty aluminum foil
- 8-16 fish filets depending on size (enough fish for 4 people)
- Non-stick spray
- 2 boxes of long grain and wild rice mix – make ahead
- 1 large onion cut into quarters and sliced
- 1 each of a zucchini and a yellow squash sliced
- Seasoning of choice I like to use Cavender’s for this
- 2 sticks of butter cut into slices
- 2-3 lemons cut into slices
Instructions
- For each foil pack tear off 2, two foot sections of aluminum foil. Place them on top of each other in two different directions, like a plus sign.
- Spray the foil generously with non-stick spray.
- Place 1/4 of the rice in the center and spread out evenly.
- Place 1/4 of the onion slices on top of the rice.
- Cover the rice and onion with 1/4 of the squash slices.
- Sprinkle the squash slices with the seasoning.
- Lay 1/4 of the butter slices on top of the squash.
- Lay 1/4 of the fish fillets over the butter, and sprinkle with seasoning.
- Lay 1/4 of the lemon slices over the top.
- Fold the foil up to form a packet – you want it tight to trap in all of the steam and moisture.
- Place the foil packs on the grate over a fire or grill and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side.
- Unfold carefully and enjoy!
