Notes
Pat the fish dry thoroughly to remove any excess water. This is because the water in the fish can wash off marinade or seasonings during the marinating process.
Apply the marinade gently. You might want to use a pastry brush because it will spread the marinade without pressure.
Set the raw and marinated fish on a bed of onions and peppers. Don't let the fish sit directly on the foil, or it might stick.
Put lemon slices on top of the fish before closing the foil packets.
