A delightful and easy-to-make dish featuring tilapia infused with lemon and herbs, baked to perfection in foil packets.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal texture for the fish.
Lay out four large pieces of aluminum foil on a flat surface.
Make sure the foil pieces are large enough to fully enclose the fish and toppings.
Place a slice of lemon in the center of each piece of foil.
The lemon slices will infuse the fish with a bright, citrusy flavor.
Sprinkle smoked paprika and cayenne pepper on both sides of the tilapia fillets.
Ensure even coating of the spices for consistent flavor.
Place a seasoned tilapia fillet on top of each lemon slice.
Position the fish so it sits evenly on the lemon slice for uniform cooking.
Top each fillet with a few cherry tomatoes and a minced garlic clove.
Distribute the toppings evenly for balanced flavor in each packet.
Place a sprig of fresh rosemary on top of each packet.
The rosemary will release its aroma during cooking, enhancing the dish.
Fold the foil over the fish and toppings, sealing the edges tightly to form a packet.
Ensure the packets are sealed well to trap steam and cook the fish evenly.
Place the packets in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Check one packet for doneness before removing all from the oven.
Carefully open the packets to release steam and serve the fish directly from the foil or transfer to plates.
Serve with a side of rice or salad for a complete meal.
