This super-easy method for cooking grilled fish in foil packets is foolproof and flexible—you can use any fresh fish available in your area. The fillets steam gently inside the foil, staying moist and flavorful while requiring minimal hands-on time. It’s my go-to technique for quick, healthy dinners throughout the warmer months.

Fish Fillet Foil Packets
This basic recipe for fish foil packets is adaptable and easy to personalize. Use a splash of white wine or a squeeze of lemon, add garlic or shallots, tuck in fresh herbs, and seal each fillet in its own foil packet. On the grill the packets create steam that cooks the fish gently and evenly. You can also prepare these packets in a 400°F oven when grilling isn’t an option.
