Today I am sharing one of my all time favorite simple dinner ideas – Greek fish foil packets.

Greek fish foil packets is one of my older recipes. The recipe is fantastic, but I wrote this one before I learned how to take photos. So my photos for this recipe needed updating. Since it didn’t get viewed much the first time around, I thought it deserved a makeover and a re-post. 🙂

This recipe is such a GEM because it is easy, healthy and delicious! And bonus points for minimal cleanup, thanks to the foil!

It is written for two servings, but you can easily double it for a family of four, or half it for dinner for one. I used tilapia in these photos, but I have also made this with other fish – snapper, grouper and mahi mahi. I think snapper is my personal favorite, FYI.

I also love that it is both figure friendly AND suited for so many eating styles – paleo (minus the feta), gluten free and low carb.

Another thing you can do is make individual packets to suit the tastes of the picky eaters. If you have somebody that doesn’t like olives, just leave them out of their foil packet! Everybody’s happy.

Essential Tools Used in This Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces fish filets about 4-6 a piece
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cavender's salt free Greek seasoning
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper*
  • 1/2 cup diced tomato*
  • 4 large olives diced
  • fresh basil and/ or flat leaf parsley for garnish
  • 2 Tablespoons feta cheese crumbles (or more if you wish!)
  • cooking spray (I prefer olive oil for this recipe but canola works too)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your over to 400 degrees.
  2. Tear off two generous sheets of foil, and spray (what will be the inner part) with cooking spray.
  3. Place one piece of fish in each piece of foil. Add salt, pepper and Cavender’s Greek seasoning to the fish.
  4. Sprinkle diced pepper, tomato and olives over the top.
  5. Close foil packets, and place them on a baking sheet.
  6. Bake for about 25-30 minutes (larger filets require the extra cooking time)
  7. Remove from oven, and let sit for 3-5 minutes.
  8. Carefully peel back the foil. Caution: beware of steam! I wear oven mitts.
  9. Plate the fish with veggies on top, and sprinkle with a little feta cheese and fresh basil and parsley.

Recipe Notes

Nutrition information was calculated using a nutrition label generator.

* I have substituted sweet mini peppers in place of bell peppers. I have also used all types of tomatoes - golden, mini grape tomatoes...and it still tastes great!

I have served mine over a brown rice/ wild rice mixture before, and it is delicious. It is great plain as well, or over a salad, which is how I am showing it here, with some of my homemade balsamic vinaigrette on top.

I hope you enjoy this recipe. Let me know if you try it!

    I MADE THIS FOR THE FAMILY A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WITH TILAPIA AND IT WAS A HIT! WONDERING HOW IT WOULD BE WITH SALMON, AS THAT IS THE ONLY FRESH FISH THAT THE LOCAL ALDI’S CARRIES. I made my own greek seasoning, BTw, as the cavender’s has too much salt in it for me. thanks!

    Is is possible you can add the WW pp+ values to the recipes?

      It sure is! Great suggestion. I have listed points in some (but not all) of my recipes. I will add points to the rest, although it may take a bit. For this particular recipe, your only points would be for the piece of fish (say 4pp for 4 ounces of tilapia) and the feta cheese (1pp) for a half ounce sprinkling. If you put it over brown rice, like I did here, that would add another 3pp for 1/2 cup (cooked). Hope this helps!

    Oh my! This looks delicious. I think I’ve used foil once. I think I’ll have to see if I can find some Greek seasoning at the stores around here. This looks super simple and delicious! Thanks for sharing with Countdown in Style!

    Looks delicious. If you don’t have the Greek seasoning, what would you suggest you substitute for it?

      Thanks Ellen! If you don’t have the Greek seasoning, I would use some garlic, oregano, basil, salt and pepper.
