Ingredients Method Nutrition

Ingredients

1 pound Rockfish (Pacific red snapper)
4 medium potatoes, cooked, peeled, and sliced
2 onions, thickly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
Fresh herb sprigs (parsley, dill, tarragon or basil)
Salt and pepper to taste (Kosher or sea salt is best, as is fresh ground pepper)

Method

Peel, slice, and cook the 4 medium potatoes (boil until tender).
Juice the lemon.
Use 2 squares of 12-inch foil per bundle. Brush the foil with oil. Make one layer each of sliced potato, sliced onion, then fish, in that order. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top, to taste.
Combine the olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice in a non-reactive container such as a glass jar. Pour over the top.
Finally, add the herb sprigs and fold the foil over to create a tight bundle. Use additional foil if desired.

Bake

Bake at 325°F for 20-30 minutes or until the fish is done (fish just turns opaque throughout).

BBQ

Cook over very low, gray coals. Turn frequently until the fish is done.

Beach BBQ Pit

Wrap the bundles in additional foil and bury in the pit for up to an hour, or until the fish is done.
