Cooking fish in these foil packs is a total cinch. Using foil over the grill means your fish stays in one tender piece throughout the cooking process, until it meets your fork. With a simple drizzle of honey, lime, and corn, you have all the sweet-tart freshness of summer in one neat little package.

Take note that if your fish fillets run larger, it might take a bit longer on the grill to cook through completely. If you own a meat thermometer, aim to hit 145° internal temperature before it comes off the grill!

Editor's note: The introduction to this recipe was updated on March 24, 2022 to include more information.
