Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray foil with cooking spray.

Step 2

Place equal amounts of diced potato and red bell pepper in the middle of each piece of foil and sprinkle with 1/2 of the seafood seasoning. Dot 1 1/2 teaspoons of butter on top of the potatoes.

Step 3

Add 1 tilapia fillet to each packet of potatoes. Sprinkle fillet with remaining seafood seasoning. Dot remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons butter on top of the fillets.

Step 4

Cut 1/2 of the lemon into thin slices and place 1 to 2 lemon slices on top of each fillet. Seal foil packets and crimp edges tightly.

Open packets carefully and vent steam. Squeeze remaining lemon juice over the tilapia and serve immediately.
