This recipe popped up in my inbox a couple weeks ago and it couldn't have been more easy. It's the absolute perfect summer meal because there is very little prep work and since you cook it all in aluminum foil, clean up is even easier! Even better, there is no need to turn on your stove on a hot summer night. Just find some fish at your local market, throw in fresh corn and a couple potatoes, top with butter, dill and lemon and voila!! You have a deliciously simple and fairly nutritious meal in no time at all. It also looks really pretty when you open up the little packet with all the beautiful colors, which makes me happy!
New England Seafood Bake
2 tbsp butter, room temperature
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill
2 garlic cloves, minced
salt and pepper
2 large red potatoes, thinly sliced
1/2 lb skinless cod fillet, cut into about 2 by 2 inch pieces
1/2 lb uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 ears corn, quartered or cut into thirds depending on size
1/2 lemon thinly sliced
hard rolls, optional
Heat grill to medium. In a small bowl combine butter, dill, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
Fold 2 14 inch squares of heavy duty aluminum foil in half to form 2 square packets. Assemble packets with potato slices layered on bottom in a single layer. Top with cod then shrimp. Place corn around outside of fish. Season with salt and pepper and top with a spoonful of butter mixture and 2 lemon slices. Fold foil over all ingredients and crimp edges of aluminum together so packets are tightly sealed.
Place packets on grill with potato layer on bottom. Cook, rotating packets occasionally but do not flip, about 14 minutes until fish is cooked and potatoes are tender. Remove from grill and transfer to serving bowl. Serve hot with rolls.
