What’s a summer without a lot of grilled food? I try to use the grill as much as possible when the weather allows. And I looove putting everything on the grill. It’s like, what can go wrong? Everything tastes better from the BBQ. But to be honest. Grilling can be quite stressful as well. Fitting everything on the grill. Trying to time the cooking times of meat, fish, veggies and all the things you put on the grill can be mission impossible. And you end up with burnt food or having things half done since you can’t fit everything in one batch. Thats why I love making these Grilled Fish Packets. You just put everything in some aluminium foil, wrap them up, put them on the grill and enjoy the sun, a glass of wine or just relax while it prepares itself.
Making fish in foil packages makes it so tender, since it actually is steamed then grilled. The fish just melts in your mouth. And in addition, this is the perfect dish to make if you have a lot of veggie leftovers from previous days. Just put it all in the package and avoid food waste.
Ingrediens for the Grilled Fish Packets:
- Cod (or fish of your choice)
- Potatoes
- Garlic
- Spring onion
- Asparagus
