Recipe View Serve the fish directly in the foil packets to retain moisture and warmth. Be cautious of hot steam when opening.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprig of fresh dill or thyme to each packet before sealing.
If you prefer a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeno before slicing.
Feel free to substitute the trout with other white fish fillets like cod, snapper, or sea bass. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
These foil packets can also be prepared on a grill. Grill over medium heat for approximately the same cooking time as oven baking.
To prevent the fish from sticking to the foil, lightly spray the foil with cooking spray before placing the fillets.

    The jalapeno adds a nice kick, but next time I'll use less for my family. Great recipe overall!
