Grilled Lemon Pepper Halibut and Squash Packs

Grilled Lemon Pepper Halibut and Squash Packs
Recipe Tip
C the Peppers
Bell peppers, regardless of their color, provide vitamin C also called ascorbic acid. Choosing vitamin C-rich foods keeps gums and blood vessels healthy.
Substitution
Try making these packets with whatever variety of summer squash you have on hand. Just use three medium squash.
Success
When you open the foil packet, keep the opening pointed away from you because very hot steam collects inside during cooking, and the steam could burn you.

I made this dinner for a group of people at a dinner party. I heard nothing but rave reviews about this healthy meal. I did modify it slightly however. I added both red and yellow onion into the pack along with a half clove of minced garlic per pack. It was cold outside so instead of doing this recipe on the grill I cooked it at 400 degrees for 20 minutes in the oven. It was delicious!

Easy and Yummy
I made this recipe and it turned out to be delicious. I modified it slightly by adding onions and a couple other spices, but the cooking method was great and so easy! The fish turned out perfectly and I'm sure there are other veggies you could try to mix it up a bit. Even my boyfriend couldn't stop saying how delicious it was.

very good
My family loves this. We used asparagus instead of squash the second time we made it. Just as good.

Grilled Lemon Pepper Halibut and Squash Packs
My kids who are 13, 10, and 3 love these and they extremly simple and quick to make. I substitute Tilapia for Halibut though. We also love the Grilled Chicken and Vegetables Packs.

Super yummy!
This is such a fantastic recipe...I accidently used dried thyme instead of basil but it was still really good. I also added a little minced garlic, chopped onions, and lemon zest for some extra flavor. My boyfriend turned his nose up when I mentioned it for dinner...and then raved about it the rest of the night. He even wants me to cook it next time for his mom!
