Cook Fish in Foil Packets in the Oven
Cook Fish in Foil Packets in the Oven
Ingredients :
Skinless fish fillets
Oil
Seasonings
Vegetables
Baking sheet
Meat thermometer
Directions :
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Lay a piece of fish on top of a sheet of foil large enough to completely enclose the fish portion.
Add about 1 tbsp. of an oil, such as butter or olive oil, and any chopped vegetables or seasonings you wish to the top of the fish. Suggested seasonings include salt, pepper, oregano and thyme. Include vegetables such as tomatoes, onions, potatoes, spinach and minced garlic.
Wrap the foil around the fish piece, sealing it completely closed by crimping the edges together.
Set the foil packet on a baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
Allow the fish to cook until for about 20 minutes. It should take about 20 to 25 minutes, but can take up to 1 hour. Cooking times vary by the type and size of fish. Most fish starts to flake when done and changes from a translucent color to an opaque color.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven.
Open the packet, slowly and carefully, to view the fish. Be careful, as the escaping steam can cause burns.
Flake the thickest part of the fish with the tines of a fork to determine if the fish is done. The flesh should separate easily.
Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the fish to verify that it is cooked to a safe temperature. It should read 145 degrees F when the fish is completely cooked.
Return the fish to the oven to cook longer if it is not completely cooked through.
Serve and enjoy!
