A delightful Mediterranean-inspired dish featuring tilapia fillets wrapped in foil with a medley of fresh vegetables and herbs, baked to perfection.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to maintain consistent cooking.
Cut the zucchini into thin slices and halve the grape tomatoes.
Uniform slices ensure even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, tomatoes, parsley, mint, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Toss gently to coat the vegetables evenly with the seasoning.
Cut the lemon into thin slices.
Remove any seeds from the lemon slices to avoid bitterness.
Place each tilapia fillet on a sheet of aluminum foil.
Use enough foil to completely wrap the fish and vegetables.
Top each fillet with an equal portion of the vegetable mixture and a few lemon slices.
Layering the lemon slices on top helps infuse the fish with citrus flavor.
Seal the foil packets tightly by folding the edges together.
Ensure there are no gaps to keep the steam inside.
Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Check one packet to ensure the fish is cooked through.
Carefully open the packets and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese before serving.
Be cautious of the hot steam when opening the packets.
