Italian Fish Parcels and Baked Potatoes with Tomatoes, Garlic, and Basil




Italian Fish Parcels are one of our favorite meals. I use Tilapia for the fish because it is really inexpensive and it takes on the flavor of whatever you cook with it. If you are not a fish person Tilapia would be a safe bet. I got the Tilapia for $2.99 lb and I only get 2 filet's which is about 1/2 lb. what a deal! For the Fish Parcel you just set the filet in a foil sheet and you sprinkle all the ingredients over it. I use a little bit of olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, greek olives, sliced onions, chopped garlic, capers, and paprika. Then you just fold up the foil like a little parcel and put it on the grill for 15 minutes. They are foolproof and so easy to clean up - just throw the foil away. For the potato dish I just quarter some red potatoes and mix in tomatoes, basil, garlic, onion, S&P, and a little olive oil. Then bake it for 30 minutes. I love the sweet flavor the tomatoes get when they are roasted this way, and they take on the smokiness of the garlic.
