Grilled Tilapia in Foil Packets

Ingredients:
4 pieces of tilapia
1/2 of a small onion sliced
1 cup of matchstick carrots
1/2 red bell pepper, sliced thin
1/2 green bell pepper, sliced thin
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 green onions, sliced
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 seasoned panko breadcrumbs
Preheat grill to about 350 °F

Cut 4 18×18 pieces of heavy-duty tin foil.

Divide the onions, pepper, and carrots evenly and place them in a small pile in the center of the foil pieces. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Lay one piece of fish over each veggie pile. Sprinkle with salt and pepper then divide the remainder of the ingredients over the top of the fish. Seal each package by bringing the two opposite edges of the foil together and crimping it, but don’t press it flat. Leave some room in the top of the foil package so it can steam. Fold the other edge in and up slightly toward the center, so the liquid doesn’t leak out and the package is sealed but not flat.
Place foil packages on BBQ for about 12 minutes depending on the size of the filets. You can open one slightly to see if it is cooked.
*NOTE: I'd leave out the carrots next time. They were too sweet in the citrus sauce. I'll substitute mushrooms maybe. Fish, however, was delicious and perfectly cooked.
