Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cut four large sheets of aluminum foil, about 12 inches long.
  2. Divide the sliced red bell pepper, red onion, and half of the minced garlic among the foil sheets.
  3. Place one Atlantic cod fillet on top of the vegetable mixture on each sheet, seasoning with salt, pepper, oregano, and remaining garlic.
  4. Drizzle olive oil over the cod fillets and top with parsley, dill, and lemon slices.
  5. Fold the edges of each foil sheet to create sealed packets.
  6. Preheat your grill to medium heat or oven to 400°F (200°C).
  7. Cook the foil packets on the grill for 12-15 minutes or in the oven for 15-18 minutes.
  8. Check for doneness by inspecting the fish; it should be flaky and opaque.
  9. Carefully unwrap each foil packet and serve the fish with the vegetables.
