Fish in Foil
Fish in foil is a simple and delicious way to prepare fish that locks in all the flavor and moisture of the fish. This cooking method involves wrapping seasoned fish fillets in a foil packet and then baking or grilling them until they are perfectly cooked. The foil packet not only helps to infuse the fish with the flavors of the seasonings and any added ingredients, but it also keeps the fish moist and prevents it from drying out during the cooking process.
