  1. Great way to use the grill. Fish is flavorful and tender (even if you leave it on a bit too long).
     
  2. This was really good! We didn't have mushrooms and I didn't add the cheese. I sprinkled the veggies with salt and pepper after reading the other reviews. This is a wonderful easy weeknight meal!
     
  3. This was wonderful! I used "release" foil and added salt & pepper to the layers. In think next time instead of the pesto, I am going to try a drizzle of olive oil and a little fish seasoning on top of the fish.
     
  4. This is a fantastic recipe. It is so light tasting and simple to make. The foil packets are some of my favorites, as there is so little cleanup. The only trouble I had was with the parmesan sticking to the foil. Next time I might try putting it on top of the veggies, under the fish. Thanks for a delcious idea that I'll definitely make again.
     
  5. Absolutely loved this recipe. I did not use the potatoes,but followed the rest of the recipe exactly. Would definitely make this again and again Thank you.

  1. Made this for dinner tonight. I used catfish instead of tilapia, and I brushed the veggies with a small amount of oil then went ahead and sprinkled with S and P. Otherwise I followed as directed. And it was absolutely amazing. This is definitely a keeper. Thanks for the post mariajane!!
