Last year my boyfriend and I took a motorcycle trip from Colorado to the northern tip of Washington and then back down Oregon, across California, Nevada, Utah, back home to Colorado.  It was crazy…and honestly, a little TOO long to be on the back of a bike!  But, one of the highlights of our trip was the food…and actually he claims that this  meal was the best we had on the whole trip :)

 

The limited camping and cooking supplies which we were able to pack on the back of his Harley was sufficient for this simple fish dish.

 

 

I suppose the best part of it in my opinion, was the fact that we were able to get REAL fresh fish!  We made this on our stop in Oregon, and a local market had lovely fresh, big fillets of Halibut calling our name!

Easy, Delicious, and impressive for a Camping Dinner! This dish combines Halibut (or your choice of fish) with tomato, lemon, and herbs…with dill baby carrots on the side. When I’m camping I rarely measure…The measurements below can be adjusted to your taste…its easy and you can’t really mess it up!
Ingredients
  • 2 pieces Halibut
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 1 pack fresh dill
  • 1 tomato, quartered
  • 1/4 stick of butter
  • 1 small bag baby carrots
  • aluminum foil
  • Mrs Dash Original (salt-free seasoning blend)
  • salt and pepper (if desired)
  • Basil if desired for garnish
  • Agave or Honey (if you have it! its not crucial)
Instructions
  1. Cut 2 large pieces of aluminum foil big enough to make packets (one for Halibut, one for carrots)
  2. Halibut Packet:
  3. Rub stick of butter on both foil pieces (not to the edges as it will be wrapped up)
  4. Place Halibut, lemon, tomato one one piece of foil
  5. Top with 1 sprig of dill (torn up), sprinkle with Mrs Dash (to your taste)
  6. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to your taste (if desired)
  7. Close packet securely
  8. Carrot Packet:
  9. Place carrots on foil
  10. Top with 3 sprigs dill and honey or agave if you have it/want to
  11. Close packet securely
  12. Carrots will take longer than fish, place carrot packet over indirect heal/coals in your fire pit
  13. Cook for about 5 minutes
  14. Place fish packet over indirect heat/coals in your fire pit
  15. Cook both packets until done…time varies when camping! I estimate 8 minutes
  16. Fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork
