Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Tear off four large sheets of aluminum foil and place one fish fillet in the center of each sheet.
  3. Arrange your choice of cut vegetables around or on top of the fish.
  4. Season the fish and vegetables with salt, pepper, garlic, or other favorite seasonings.
  5. Bring the edges of the foil together and fold them securely to seal each packet.
  6. Place the packets on a baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 15–20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish, until the fish reaches 145°F (63°C).
  8. Carefully open the packets away from your face, as hot steam will escape.

Kid Cooking Tip: Kids can choose vegetables, arrange ingredients on the foil, and add seasonings. An adult should seal, bake, and open the hot packets because steam can escape quickly when the foil is opened.
