Fish in foil Packets recipe (Pescado Empapelado)

Fish in foil recipe is a great option when you don’t have time to cook but, want to eat something tasty, nutritious and low calorie.

This recipe is excellent if you are on a low-calorie diet, or if like me, the doctor recommended adding more fish to your diet. Foil-wrapped tilapia is very easy to prepare.

To make fish in foil packets you can use tilapia, salmon, or any other fish in your fridge. Same with vegetables or vegetables, check your refrigerator and add the ones you like the most.

Another option is adding chihuahua cheese or one that melts on top of the fish, but the recipe would no longer be as low in calories.
