A delightful and easy-to-make dish featuring tilapia and fresh vegetables baked in foil packets, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Preheating ensures even cooking and helps the packets cook faster.
Cut four large pieces of aluminum foil and lay them flat on a work surface.
Using heavy-duty foil prevents tearing and ensures the packets hold their shape.
Thinly slice the potatoes, zucchini, and mushrooms.
Try to keep the slices uniform for even cooking.
Place an equal portion of the sliced vegetables in the center of each foil piece.
Layering the vegetables ensures they cook evenly and absorb the flavors.
Place a tilapia fillet on top of the vegetables in each packet.
Ensure the fish is fresh for the best flavor and texture.
In a small bowl, mix the herb-infused butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley.
Softened butter mixes more easily with the herbs and garlic.
Spoon the herb butter mixture over the fish and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.
Distribute the butter evenly for consistent flavor.
Fold the foil over the fish and vegetables, crimping the edges to seal the packets tightly.
Ensure the packets are sealed well to trap steam and flavors.
Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.
Check one packet to ensure the fish is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Carefully open the packets and serve the fish and vegetables directly from the foil or transfer to plates.
Be cautious of the steam when opening the packets.
