Yield: 4 servings

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Baking time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 white fish fillets (such as tilapia)
  • 1 cup halved small cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup finely diced green bell pepper
  • ¼ cup minced sweet onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Lay four 12x16-inch pieces of aluminum foil on a flat work surface. Place a piece of fish in the center of each piece of foil.
  3. In a medium bowl, stir together the tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Top each piece of fish with an equal amount of vegetables.
  4. To seal each packet, turn the piece of foil so that the 16-inch side is horizontal. Fold the right and left ends toward the center to meet each other. Roll the foil down two to three turns to seal the two sides. Grab each of the open ends and roll towards the center to create and seal the packet.
  5. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the fish begins to flake and the vegetables are softened.
