Ingredients

  • 2 whole whole tilapia
  • 7 clove garlic cloves
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 2 whole lemons
  • 1 whole onion
  • 1 tsp yellow bell pepper
  • 1 tsp red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce
  • 1 whole fresh rosemary
  • salt
  • 1 whole reynolds wrap foil

Directions

  1. 1

    Clean your fish , again

  2. 2

    Rinse well from the market , make sure that all the nasty bits are gone- gills , intestines and all

  3. 3

    Make 2 slits on each side , and salt your fish liberally inside and both sides outside

  4. 4

    Stuff each fish with 5 pinched grape tomatoes , one clove of smashed / sliced garlic , 1 / 4 of sliced yellow onion and 2 lemon slices

  5. 5

    Lay out the fish on a piece of aluminum foil , and place lemon slices on each side , using half a lemon per side

  6. 6

    Wrap it in aluminum foil , sealing it shut , but don't overdo it

  7. 7

    You need to be able to release the fish in one piece , with the lemons intact ! Set aside

  8. 8

    Make a "tray" with sides , using aluminum foil

  9. 9

    Clean peppers , remove veins and seeds

  10. 10

    Brush with hot sauce , place inside foil

  11. 11

    Put the rest of the cherry tomatoes in the foil tray , season with salt and pepper

  12. 12

    Preheat your grill

  13. 13

    I use a gas grill , and this was set to medium heat

  14. 14

    Place your two fish packs and "vegetable tray" on the grill

  15. 15

    Let the onions grill directly , so just place them wherever there is space

  16. 16

    Cover the grill

  17. 17

    While the fish cooks , heat up 1 / 4 cup of olive oil then roughly chop garlic into small pieces

  18. 18

    Once hot , reduce fire to low and add rosemary sprig

  19. 19

    Let it release its oils

  20. 20

    Then add the chopped garlic in the pot

  21. 21

    Cook the garlic a little , but not burning

  22. 22

    About a minute , just for the flavor to bloom

  23. 23

    Turn it off , and keep it in the pan

  24. 24

    After 12-15 mins , one side of the fish is done

  25. 25

    The onions and tomatoes will be done as the same time one side is done

  26. 26

    You can tell because the tomatoes are oozing on the grill

  27. 27

    Cook the other side of the fish for another 12-15 minutes

  28. 28

    Remove onions and tomatoes from the grill

  29. 29

    Place in blender

  30. 30

    Once the bell peppers are properly grilled , add them in the blender too

  31. 31

    Pulse until you have a semi chunky texture

  32. 32

    Turn the heat back on the garlic and olive oil and sautee the mixture in the heat , for another 2-3 minutes until all flavors are incorporated

  33. 33

    Plate and enjoy with pita bread / soft taco tortillas or garden salad
