Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 99kcal
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves finely chopped
- 3-4 Tbsp olive oil
- 4 pieces of flaky white fish, such as flounder, tilapia, or sole
- 1 lime sliced into quarters
- Assorted vegetables such as yellow squash, zucchini, or bell peppers
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small food processor, combine the cilantro leaves and olive oil. Pulse until a smooth paste forms.
- Tear off a piece of aluminum foil approximately 18-20” long. Spray or brush a small amount of olive oil on the foil. Place the fish on the foil, and spread the cilantro-olive oil mixture on the top of the fish. Squeeze the lime wedges on top of the fish and then leave wedges in the pouch next to the fish.
- Cover the fish with a second, similarly sized piece of foil. Fold the edges together, and then fold them over again to create secure, sealed edges on all sides.
- Preheat the grill on medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, slice the vegetables and generously brush with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Place the foil pouch along with the vegetables on the grill.
- Grill for approximately 8-10 minutes on medium to medium-high heat, or roughly 4-5 minutes per ½” thickness of the fish. (The vegetables will likely need to be turned after 3-4 minutes, and (depending on size) they may need to come off of the grill a couple of minutes before the fish.)
