Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F or 200°C). (2 minutes)
02 Step

Prepare a foil packet: Place the cod fillet on a large piece of aluminum foil. Season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. (2 minutes)
03 Step

04 Step
Recipe View
Drizzle with goodness: Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar evenly over the cod and vegetables. Scatter the mozzarella cheese cubes on top. (1 minute)
05 Step
Recipe View
Seal the packet: Fold the aluminum foil over the cod to create a sealed packet, crimping the edges tightly to prevent steam from escaping. (1 minute)
06 Step
Recipe View
Grill to perfection: Place the foil packet on the preheated grill and cook until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, approximately 7-9 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet. (9 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Rest and serve: Carefully remove the foil packet from the grill. Let it rest for a minute before opening to allow the steam to finish cooking the fish. Serve immediately.
For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before sealing the foil packet.
If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can bake the foil packet in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms.
Use high-quality balsamic vinegar for the best flavor.
Be careful when opening the foil packet, as hot steam will escape.
