“This recipe came to me after watching a friend grill fish in foil. The flavors are great. You can also use flounder or cod.” —Barbara Schindler, Napoleon, Ohio

Confetti Tilapia Packets Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

15 15 30

Ingredients

1 medium green pepper, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
4 green onions, sliced
3 bacon strips, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
1 large tomato, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 tilapia fillets (4 ounces each)
4 teaspoons lemon juice

Directions

In a large skillet, saute the green pepper, onions, bacon and celery until vegetables are tender and bacon is crisp; drain. Add the tomato, salt and pepper; heat through.
Place each fillet on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 12 in. square). Drizzle fillets with lemon juice. Top with vegetable mixture. Fold foil around fish and seal tightly.
Grill, covered, over medium-hot heat for 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape. Yield: 4 servings.

Cooked the bacon in advance and oven cooked the fish at 425F for 15 minutes. Was absolutely delightful!

Making this again tonight......we ALL loved it! I would cook the bacon 1st then add the other items. This time I'm also adding zucchini thinly sliced. It so delicious and yummy!

I just got my magazine today, and I felt like tilapia, so I opened it and found this. Great recipe. The only changes I would make is I think next time I will cook the bacon separately, I couldn't get the bacon crisp and the veggies not overcooked. I also added zucchini.
