Grilled Swai and Asparagus Packets

Grilled swai and asparagus packets are perfect because I love making foil packet dinners. Who wouldn't love a full dinner with virtually no dishes to wash afterward? This flavorful packet has tender, moist fish and seasoned vegetables. It is incredibly versatile!

Ingredients

  • cooking spray

  • 1 stick unsalted butter, divided

  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces

  • ½ onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 tablespoon dried dill weed

  • 1 pinch onion and herb seasoning blend (such as Mrs. Dash)

  • 4 (4 ounce) fillets swai fish

  • 2 lemons, thinly sliced

  • lemon, cut into wedges

Directions

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat. Tear off 4 large squares of aluminum foil; coat with cooking spray.

  2. Melt 1/3 stick butter in a skillet over medium heat. Toss asparagus, onion, dill, and seasoning blend with melted butter; divide among the foil squares.

  3. Top vegetables with swai fillets. Cut remaining 2/3 stick butter into small pats; divide and place onto each fillet. Sprinkle liberally with seasoning blend; place lemon slices on top. Fold foil into packets, sealing seams tightly, leaving room for steam to circulate.

  4. Place packets directly on the grill; cook until swai flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. Open packets carefully; squeeze lemon juice over swai and vegetables.

Cook's Note:

If you don't like asparagus, substitute broccoli or zucchini. If you don't like swai, salmon, tilapia, or catfish are delicious substitutes!
