Ingredients

4 fillets white fish use your favorite white flaky fish, if the pieces are small use 2 per person
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic minced
4 large fresh basil leaves chopped
4 small tomatoes diced (or about 16 cherry tomatoes cut in half)
1 cup white wine
4 lemon slices, optional (for garnish)

Instructions

Start your campfire or charcoal grill for cooking at medium heat. (See * Note)
Lay out 4 pieces of foil (long enough to fold into packets). Fold up the sides to create a sort of bowl to contain the wine when you pour it into the foil packets.
Salt and pepper both sides of the fish.
Evenly divide the ingredients for all of the packets. On each piece of foil, layer the fish, butter, garlic, basil, tomatoes and wine.
Seal the packets tightly for cooking. Watch my video to see how.
Let fish cook on cooking grate over medium heat of hot coals from your campfire or charcoal briquettes until the fish flakes easily with a fork (about 10 minutes.) (See ** Note)
Using heat-resistant gloves, carefully remove the tin foil pouch from the heat and open it for serving. Be careful not to burn yourself, the steam is very hot.
Garnish with fresh lemon slices, if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

* NOTE: When using a campfire to cook with foil packets, make sure you are actually cooking over coals rather than a fire. Start your fire well in advance of your cooking so you can manage the heat. You want a nice even heat from coals rather than the flames of burning wood.

** NOTE: The fish will steam inside the packet so there is no need to turn these. The length of cooking time depends on how thick the fish is ... so peek inside but don’t burn yourself ... the steam is hot! You want the fish just cooked through; it’s done when you can flake it with a fork.
