Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons grated ginger
- 1 clove garlic, mashed
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Zest and juice of 1 orange
- Four 4-ounce tilapia fillets
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach, for serving
- Grilled Summer Relish, recipe follows
Directions
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Fold four sheets of foil in half crosswise to crease, and then unfold.
Combine the oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, lemon zest, orange zest and orange juice in a small bowl. Mix well to combine.
Place 1 fillet on one side of the crease on each sheet of foil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Divide the oil mixture equally among the fillets.
Working with 1 foil sheet at a time, fold the foil over the fillet and tightly crimp the edges of the foil to close the packets to create a papillote. Place each papillote on the grill and close the lid of the grill. Grill until the papillotes are fully puffed, about 12 minutes.
Carefully cut the foil to open and serve the fillets on the spinach and top with the Grilled Summer Relish.

Grilled Summer Relish:
- 2 scallions, white and pale green parts only
- 1 ear corn
- 1 orange bell pepper
- 1 yellow squash, halved lengthwise
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
Prepare the grill to medium heat. Brush the scallions, corn, bell pepper and squash on both sides with the oil. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Grill the vegetables until slightly charred and just tender, turning often, about 5 minutes for the scallions, 8 minutes for the squash and pepper and 10 minutes for the corn. Transfer the vegetables to a cutting board and cut into 1/4-inch pieces. Cut the corn from the cob directly into a bowl and mix in the scallions, peppers and squash.
Meanwhile whisk the lemon juice, oil, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Add the oil mixture to the bowl of vegetables; toss to coat. Yield: about 2 1/4 cups.

I made the tilapia, but did not make the relish. Since I don't have a grill, I cooked the fish on a bed of spinach with chopped shallot in parchment envelopes in a 450 degree oven for 20 minutes. I made the marinade exactly as specified and let the fish marinate in it for 1/2 hour before cooking. The fish was light and flaky and perfectly cooked. It was tasty but needed just a little something more to make it great, not sure what...perhaps a little more ginger or a little heat? Regardless, I enjoyed it and will make it again but will tinker with the seasoning a little.

Flavorful. Simple. Amazing. My husband and I loved this and can't wait to make it again. I did not make it with the spinach or relish, I made different sides. I also added the juice from half the lemon. Definite do over.
