Tilapia & Summer Vegetable Packets

From EatingWell: July/August 2007, EatingWell for a Healthy Heart Cookbook (2008)

Wrapping vegetables and fish in a foil packet for grilling or baking is a foolproof way to get moist, tender results. Tilapia and summer vegetables pair with olives and capers for a Mediterranean flair.

READER'S COMMENT:

"We enjoyed this recipe. It was really flavorful. I left out the capers and olives. I also changed the vegetables a little and just used ones I had on hand. "

More please!

We followed recipe exactly and cooked on the grill. Fish turned out perfect! It was moist and flakey. The capers, lemon, olives, and onion add a terrific blend of flavors. Really great dish!

Pros: Great flavors with the capers, olives, & onions.

Yummy to the nth degree!

My friends and I were in awe at the amazing flavor of this dish! We added cubes of mostly-cooked sweet potato in the packets to give the dish a bit of a creamy texture (and to soak up the juice). We chose to pop the packets in the oven for 20 minutes rather than using the grill...utter perfection!

Pros: extremely quick and easy to make

it felt so summery even if we baked it in the oven

This is good even in February with an Italian Soave wine and a good rustic bread to soak up the juices on the plate. really good

Pros: surprisingly easy great taste with capers ,lemon and olives

I prepared this dish for dinner this evening, putting my own "twist" on the veggie garnish by using only items I already had on hand (onions, red pepper, zucchini, and garlic - also substituted lemon juice with lime). Placed in oven for the recommended 20 minutes, which was perfect - fish was thoroughly cooked, and veggies still had a bit of a crunch! Paired with a quinoa & black bean salad, for a healthy, protein-rich & DELICIOUS meal!

Pros: Quick, simple, low-calorie

Tried

I tried this recipe though I made substitutions what I had on hand pretty close to the orginal. Instead of chopping and buying all fresh produce I had a pkg of Summer Vegetables (PictSweet) with all the ingredients and carrots. So I used this and omitted olives since I don't like them. I baked mine in the oven and wasn't done cooking after 20 min. I didn't think I could eat the fish baked so I cheated I would say by adding another 1 - 2 tbsp of oil into a pan and frying it. It was delicious and better than I expected! Well look at it this way least I didn't fry it with a bread coating!
