Grilled Flounder Packets with Lemon & Dill

Serves 4 Grill

Ingredients

  • 4 flounder fillets (about 5 oz each)
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 4 sprigs fresh dill
  • 2 Tbsp capers, rinsed
  • Kosher salt and black pepper

Method

  1. Heat a grill to medium-high. Lay out 4 squares of heavy foil and oil them lightly.
  2. Place a fillet on each, season, and top with lemon slices, dill, capers, and a drizzle of oil. Seal the packets tightly.
  3. Grill 8–10 minutes, until the packets puff and the fish flakes.
  4. Open carefully (hot steam) and serve with the juices.

Chef's tip

Flounder is too delicate for bare grates — the packet gives you all the grill flavor with none of the sticking.
