My grilled halibut in foil packets delivers moist, flavorful fish that is not only delicious but also a pretty presentation.

Note: You can also prepare these foil packets in the oven.
Ingredients
  • halibut fillets, ½ to ¾ inch thick
  • onion, sliced thin and separated into individual rings
  • mini colored peppers, sliced into rings
  • olive oil
  • butter
  • salt and pepper
  • lemon, sliced thin
  • fresh thyme
Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill. If cooking in the oven, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  3. Cut one 12x18 piece of heavy duty foil for each fish packet. Spray with cooking spray.
  4. Place one filet on each piece of foil. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Layer with onion rings and pepper rings. Drizzle with olive oil and place a small pat of butter on top.
  8. Add three lemon slices on top of each filet and top with fresh sprigs of thyme.
  10. Fold foil over fish until edges meet. Seal by folding foil to create packet (see photo in post). Repeat for the end of the packet. Be sure to leave space for steam to circulate.
  12. Place on hot grill and cover, grilling for 7 minutes. Flip packets and continue to cook for 8 minutes or until you can flake fish with a fork and vegetables are tender. If baking, place on cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
  14. Be careful opening foil packets as the steam will be hot. You can serve the foil packet on a plate, cut an X on the top of each packet and fold back the foil. If you prefer not to serve the fish in the foil, you can also use a slotted spatula to remove the fish and place on a plate. Serve with vegetables and lemon slices on top and drizzle juices from foil pack before serving.
