butter, (melted)

cajun seasoning blend, (divided)

salt, (divided)

tilapia filets, (about 4 to 6 ounces each, thawed)

Preheat grill to 400˚F.

Tear out 4 large heavy duty foil sheets measuring about 12x12, each. Set aside.

Add 8 cups water to a cooking pot and set over high heat; bring to a boil.

Add in the corn; reduce heat to a steady simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Drain.

In a large mixing bowl combine the corn, sliced onions, bell peppers, and garlic.

Melt the 3 tablespoons butter in a separate bowl; stir in ½ tablespoon cajun seasoning, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.

Pour the melted butter mixture over the corn, onions, and peppers. Gently toss to combine.

Rub the remaining cajun seasoning blend all around the tilapia filets. Season with remaining salt and pepper.

Divide the corn mixture between the four aluminum foil sheets.

Add a fish fillet to each foil.

Dot the cubed butter over the fillets.

Bring edges of the foil together and seal them closed.

Transfer packets to the grill and cook for 15 minutes, flipping them once halfway through cooking.

Remove from grill.

Carefully open up the packets away from your face.

Serve with lemon slices.

Air Fryer Tilapia

sea salt

garlic powder

black pepper

olive oil

tilapia, (about 6 ounces each)

cooking spray, (to grease the air fryer basket)

salted butter

lemon juice

capers

Preheat the air fryer to 415˚F and spray the basket of your air fryer with cooking spray.

Whisk together the sea salt, garlic powder, and ground black pepper and set aside.

Drizzle the olive oil over the tilapia and massage it into the fish, coating it evenly.

Arrange the tilapia fillets in the basket with at least ½ inch of space between each fillet. If the basket is too small, cook the fish in batches.

Sprinkle half of the seasoning over the fillets. Flip, and sprinkle with the other half of the seasoning.

Air fry for 6 minutes; flip the fish halfway through the cooking time.

For the tilapia

Meanwhile, make the sauce and start by melting the butter in a saucepan set over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for about 15 seconds or until fragrant.

Whisk in the lemon juice to combine, then stir in the capers. Remove from heat.

Remove the tilapia from the air fryer and arrange the fillets on a serving platter.

Spoon the sauce over the cooked tilapia and serve.
