Italian Style Tilapia

This is a wonderfully light and flavorful fish recipe.  I love Italian flavors, so I could be bias, but still, it's fantastic and so very easy.  The original recipe called for baking it in the oven in a cast iron skillet.  The first time I made this recipe, though, it was summer time and I try really hard not to turn on the oven in the summer time.  I decided just to put the fish in a foil packet and throw it on the grill.  The herbs tend to get a bit dark and doesn't look too good to the eye, but the taste, the taste is perfect (I think I actually said this on yesterday's post too) .  If you wanted to add the herbs half way through the cooking process, they would keep their vibrant green colors better.  Check out the original recipe here, they give you alternative methods of cooking this dish, just in case you don't want to grill it.
