Ingredients
- -4 fillets of tilapia (each weighing 4 ounces)
- -2 carrots, sliced into thin strips
- -1 stalk of celery, cut into slender pieces
- -2 shallots, finely sliced
- -2 tablespoons of dry vermouth
- -2 tablespoons of butter
Step 1
Prepare your oven by preheating it to a toasty 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Step 2
Take a moment to craft cozy little nests out of aluminum foil for your fillets. Nestle each fish snugly in its foil bed, then tuck in some vibrant carrots and crunchy celery on top. Sprinkle a bit of vermouth and a touch of butter across each packet, ensuring every bite is infused with flavor.
Step 3
Gently fold and crimp the foil packets, like wrapping tiny gifts, and lay them lovingly on a waiting baking sheet.
Step 4
Let the magic happen in the heat of the oven, allowing the fish to cook until it's tender and flakes at the mere suggestion of a fork, typically around 15 to 20 minutes.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Begin by prepping all your ingredients in advance to ensure a smooth and efficient cooking process. Slice your vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes) and season your tilapia fillets with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of your favorite herbs and spices.
- 2. Use heavy-duty aluminum foil to create individual foil packets for each serving. This not only helps with portion control but also makes for easy clean-up afterwards.
