Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the grill to medium high (I tried to keep my temperature gauge between 400 and 450 degrees.In a bowl, toss together zucchini, bell peppers, tomato, olive oil, Kosher salt, and black pepper. Set aside.For each packet, you will need 2 large (about 20 inches long) sheets of foil, or just 1 sheet if it’s the heavy duty kind.Lay your foil out and spray with cooking spray. Alternatively, you can brush them with olive oil.Since my fish was frozen, I first rinsed them in cold water then patted them dry. If they’re fresh, you can skip this step.Lay one fish fillet on the foil. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Place three thin slivers of butter on top of the fish. Put two slices of lemon on top of the butter. Place a few sprigs of dill on top of that.Place ¼ of the vegetables, including capers beside the fish.Fold the long sides of the foil in towards the center and roll over to seal. Seal up the edges as well.Repeat with remaining fillets and vegetables.Place on the preheated grill, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes. Mine took a little longer because they were frozen. To serve, carefully remove them from the grill and peel back the foil layer. Fish are done when they are white (not translucent) and flake easily with a fork. Serve in the foil packet or on plates with the sauce from the bottom of the packet.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
