Ingredients
  • 4 filets of lemon sole (or plain sole, if your fish market doesn't have lemon)
  • 3 lemons (2 juiced, 1 sliced thinly)
  • ½ cup white wine
  • ½ cup chives, diced
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  1. Preheat grill to medium heat.
  2. Rinse fish and pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Tear four pieces of foil – about 18 x 12 inches – large enough that they’ll fully wrap around each piece of fish.
  4. Place a filet on each piece of foil, and add lemon juice. Add enough that lemon touches the whole filet, 1 tablespoon or a bit more. The lemon will ensure that your fish is moist.
  5. Next, add a dash of white wine, just a dash, to each filet.
  6. Drizzle each filet with olive oil, then place two seedless lemon slices on each.
  7. Sprinkle each filet with chives – as much or as little as you like.
  8. Salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Fold up foil packets and seal with a double fold, leaving some space for steam to expand.
  10. Grill foil packets for 4 to 6 minutes or until fish flakes when tested with a fork.
  11. Serve in foil right on the plate or use a fish spatula to plate.
