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

What’s ethics? [My thanks to Jean Reed for the following joke] Issy was the proud co-owner of the local dry cleaners. One day, during dinner, whilst he was finishing his chicken soup, his 9year old son Sam asked, "Dad, what’s ethics?" Issy thought for a while, put down his spoon, looked at Sam and replied, "Okay, let`s suppose someone comes into my shop and gives me his business suit to dry clean. Then suppose I find a £20 note in his trouser pocket?" Sam looked expectantly at his father. "So," Issy said, "to answer your question, Sam, do I tell my partner I found the money? That`s ethics".
