Serve Immediately: Remove the foil pan from the grill and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Be cautious of hot steam when opening the foil. Serve immediately.
Spice It Up: For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tomato mixture.
Broiler Option: If grilling isn't an option, preheat your oven's broiler. Follow the same steps for assembling the foil packet, then broil for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
Adjust to Taste: Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic, tomatoes, and lemon juice to your preference.
Wine Pairing: A crisp Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio will complement the flavors of this dish beautifully.
