grilled-fish-ingredients

Preheat grill to about 350 °F

Cut 4 18×18 pieces of heavy-duty tin foil.

Divide the onions, pepper, mushrooms, and carrots evenly and place them in a small pile in the center of the foil pieces. Sprinkle with salt and pepper

Lay one piece of fish over each veggie pile. Sprinkle with salt and pepper then divide the remainder of the ingredients over the top of the fish. Seal each package by bringing the two opposite edges of the foil together and crimping it, but don’t press it flat. Leave some room in the top of the foil package so it can steam. Fold the other edge in and up slightly toward the center, so the liquid doesn’t leak out and the package is sealed but not flat.

Place foil packages on BBQ for about 12 minutes depending on the size of the filets. You can open one slightly to see if it is cooked. Make sure you don’t over cook the fish you can always put it back on the grill if it is undercooked.

Sounds great! I assume this would turn out about the same if you broiled it or baked it...we don't do much grilling during the cold months since we only have a charcoal grill...too much work to get it going out there in the cold, haha
