My kids helped me cook dinner this weekend, after my daughter watched a Food Network show featuring fish in foil packets. She decided that would be a good dish for us to make too!
Here are our raw ingredients – sablefish filets, olive oil, lemon juice, S&P, carrot slices, green garlic and chopped red bell pepper. We could of used pretty much any other vegetables – sliced zucchini, chopped tomatoes, garlic, shallots, spinach, etc, as well as any sort of mild white fish.
Then we each created our own little packets. This is my son’s, he was very organized about his layout and design. Season the fish filets with S&P, then lay veggies over the top. Drizzle with a little lemon juice and olive oil. Could also drizzle with white wine or vermouth, instead of lemon juice.
Bake 20 minutes at 350F.
Serve with rice and salad for a complete, kid-friendly dinner. Because my kids chose their own ingredients, they ate up every last bite!

Do you think it would work in parchment paper as well? I don’t use foil, don’t even own any. Sure looks yummy.

absolutely, that is the way I have made it before. The hardest part with parchment is to make sure it gets nice and tight. My daughter wanted to use foil, since that was what she had seen on TV, but I think parchment is a much “greener” solution.
Thanks for the reminder!

I used to foil cook on the grill may summers ago. Not sure why I stopped. This looks simple and something my daughter would like (minus the peppers and zucchini.
Thanks for the idea!
