Ingredients

• Halibut fillets (4 (6-ounce) fillets)
• Zucchini (1, sliced)
• Yellow squash (1, sliced)
• Red bell pepper (1, diced)
• Red onion (1, sliced)
• Cherry tomatoes (1 cup, halved)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Fresh basil (1/4 cup, chopped)
• Olive oil (3 tablespoons)
• Salt (to taste)
• Pepper (to taste)
• Fresh lemon (1, sliced)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cut four large pieces of aluminum foil, approximately 12x12 inches each.
3. Place a halibut fillet in the center of each foil piece.
4. In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated with the olive oil and seasonings.
5. Divide the vegetable mixture evenly among the foil packets, placing it on top of each halibut fillet.
6. Top each packet with a few slices of fresh lemon to enhance the flavor.
7. Fold the foil over the halibut and vegetables, sealing the edges tightly to create a packet.
8. Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the halibut is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender.
9. Carefully open the foil packets, being cautious of the hot steam, and transfer the halibut and vegetables to serving plates.
10. Serve hot and enjoy the delightful flavors!
