For an enhanced flavor profile, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before sealing the foil packet.
If you don't have fresh basil, 1 teaspoon of dried basil can be substituted. However, fresh basil provides a superior aroma and flavor.
Feel free to experiment with other herbs such as oregano, thyme, or parsley.
Serve with a side of grilled asparagus, quinoa, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
The foil packet can also be baked in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes.
