How to Make Grilled Herbed Tilapia

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Tear off two large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (approximately 12x15 inches each).
  3. Place one 6-ounce tilapia fillet in the center of each foil sheet.
  4. Season each fillet with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Top each fillet with 1 tablespoon of savory herb butter (recipe below).
  6. Bring up the foil sides and fold over the top and ends to create a tight seal, ensuring no steam can escape.
  7. Carefully place the foil packets on the preheated grill.
  8. Grill for 10-12 minutes, turning once halfway through, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  9. Remove from grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes before carefully opening the foil packets (be cautious of escaping steam).
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
