Ingredients:
(Serves 2)
- 2 rainbow trout fillets (or any fish of your choice, like salmon or cod)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil
- 1 fresh jalapeño pepper, sliced (optional, for a spicy kick)
- 1 lemon, sliced
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Fish:
- Rinse the fish fillets and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Rub the fillets with olive oil, then season both sides with garlic salt and black pepper.
3. Assemble the Foil Packets:
- Place each fillet on a large sheet of aluminum foil.
- Top with slices of jalapeño (if using) and squeeze the juice from the ends of the lemon over the fillets.
- Arrange the remaining lemon slices on top for a fresh citrus aroma.
4. Seal the Packets:
- Fold the edges of the foil over the fish to create a secure, enclosed packet. Place the packets on a baking sheet.
