Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp fresh lime Juice

  • 1 Tbsp Asian Fish sauce

  • 1 Tbsp Olive oil

  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger

  • 1/2 tsp sugar

  • 1 tsp minced garlic

  • 4 Red Snapper fillets

  • 1 Large carrot julienne

  • 1 Squash julienne

  • 1 Zucchini julienne

  • 1 large green onion sliced thinly

  • 1/4 cup packed cilantro leaves

  • 1 bag of fresh spinach leaves

Directions

  • In a small bowl, combine lime juice, fish sauce, olive oil, ginger, sugar, and minced garlic
  • Cut four squares of tinfoil large enough to hold fish and fold to close
  • Start by placing a handful of spinach on bottom of foil. Season fish with salt and pepper or your favorite fish seasoning and place on top of spinach. Next add your Julienne vegetables, and top with cilantro and green onion.
  • Next spoon your sauce mixture over the snapper and vegetables
  • Fold and crimp foil edges all around to create 4 packets
  • Place packets on grill over med-high heat for about 8-10 minutes. Or place in a 400-degree preheated oven for 8-10 minutes
  • Serve over Jasmine rice and Enjoy!

Notes

  • I like my fish extra saucy so I normally double the sauce mixture. This recipe can also be substituted with a simple garlic, lemon, capers and cherry tomato topping. Feel free to make it your own the beauty of this recipe is everything gets steamed to perfection in the foil pack. If using the oven you can substitute foil for parchment paper.
