Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Herbed Tilapia Foil Packets.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your outdoor grill to a high temperature, then lightly coat the grate with oil to prevent any sticking.
Step 2
Cut two generous squares of heavy-duty aluminum foil and place a tilapia fillet in the center of each.
Step 3
Season the fillets with a sprinkle of dried dill, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to your taste preferences.
Step 4
Add a handful of halved chives on top of each fillet, followed by scattering small pieces of butter for a rich flavor.
Step 5
Carefully fold the foil over the fish to form loose packets, ensuring thereβs ample space for steam to circulate and infuse the fish with moisture.
Step 6
Place the foil packets on the hot grill and let them cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the tilapia is perfectly flaky and tender when tested with a fork.
Step 7
Enjoy the delightful aroma as your meal cooks, and savor the simplicity of this grilled dish that brings the taste of the outdoors to your table.
