I made this tonight 5-5-15, it was quick and easy to make on the grill, had it in the tin foil and on the grill for 15 minutes and it turned out great.

Made it on the grill, tasted great with lemon pepper rub and did surprisingly take 7 min per side!

Really good and easy! Only thing is I would lower the cook time to 10 minutes.

Did not change recipe, other than seasoning (used montreal steak seasoning). 15 minutes on the nose-tasty and moist

Very good, simple campfire food. I found the cook time was at least 5 minutes too long for my fillets and you have to be very careful as the foil package expands with the steam. Otherwise tasty and easy.
