Dilapidated Tilapia Packets

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 3/4 lb tilapia fillet (approximately 4 small filets)
• 2 teaspoons butter
• salt
• pepper
• 2 scallions
• 1 1/2 teaspoons herbes de provence
• 4 sheets aluminum foil

Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 375°f.
• 2 clean the scallions, cutting off most of the green. cut them in two pieces, and slice each piece in half lengthwise.
• 3 on each sheet of foil, place 1/2 teaspoon butter. drape 1/4 of the tilapia filets over the butter, add salt and pepper to taste and one quarter of the slice scallions. add about 1/2 teaspoon of water to each packet, sprinkle 1/4 of the herbes de provence on top of each, then fold the foil up and over the filet until you have a loose packet, making sure there's some room inside to steam. seal all edges. repeat for the other filets.
• 4 put the packets on a baking sheet. if you've folded them correctly they should not leak while they're in the oven. if you're in doubt, put them in a large oven dish instead. put into oven for 20-25 minutes.
• 5 it's very difficult to overcook fish this way, so if you're leery of the fish being undercooked, leave it in slightly longer.
• 6 open each packet at the table -- you don't want to miss that aroma!
