Ingredients for Aluminum Fish

How to Make Aluminum Fish

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut 4 large squares of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  3. Divide 2 pounds of fish fillets evenly among the foil squares (approximately 8 ounces per serving).
  4. Spray each fillet lightly with butter spray.
  5. Add your favorite vegetables: 1 cup chopped zucchini, 1/2 cup chopped spaghetti squash, or other vegetables of your choice.
  6. Sprinkle each packet with 1 teaspoon dried dill, 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, 1 tablespoon chopped onion, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  7. Fold foil over the fish and vegetables, crimping the edges tightly to seal completely. Ensure no leakage.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  9. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
