01 Step
Recipe View
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375-450°F). (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
Lay a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil on a baking sheet. Arrange the tilapia fillets side by side in the center of the foil. Season generously with salt and pepper. (2 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Top each fillet with a tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle evenly with the pressed garlic, basil chiffonade, and diced tomato. (3 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Pour the white wine evenly over the fish and vegetables. (1 minute)
05 Step
Recipe View
Carefully fold the foil over the fish to create a sealed packet, crimping the edges tightly to prevent steam from escaping. (2 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Place the foil packet on the preheated grill. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets and the heat of your grill. (15 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Carefully open the foil packet, being mindful of the hot steam. Serve immediately, spooning the wine sauce over the fish. (1 minute)
For an enhanced flavor profile, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before sealing the foil packet.
If you don't have fresh basil, 1 teaspoon of dried basil can be substituted. However, fresh basil provides a superior aroma and flavor.
Feel free to experiment with other herbs such as oregano, thyme, or parsley.
Serve with a side of grilled asparagus, quinoa, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
The foil packet can also be baked in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes.
