- Four 4-ounce tilapia fillets
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

- 2 cups fresh baby spinach, for serving
- Grilled Summer Relish, recipe follows
- 2 scallions, white and pale green parts only
- 1 ear corn

Instructions
- Watch how to make this recipe.
- Preheat the grill to medium heat. Fold four sheets of foil in half crosswise to crease, and then unfold.
- Combine the oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, lemon zest, orange zest and orange juice in a small bowl. Mix well to combine.
- Place 1 fillet on one side of the crease on each sheet of foil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Divide the oil mixture equally among the fillets.
- Working with 1 foil sheet at a time, fold the foil over the fillet and tightly crimp the edges of the foil to close the packets to create a papillote. Place each papillote on the grill and close the lid of the grill. Grill until the papillotes are fully puffed, about 12 minutes.
- Carefully cut the foil to open and serve the fillets on the spinach and top with the Grilled Summer Relish.
- Prepare the grill to medium heat. Brush the scallions, corn, bell pepper and squash on both sides with the oil. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Grill the vegetables until slightly charred and just tender, turning often, about 5 minutes for the scallions, 8 minutes for the squash and pepper and 10 minutes for the corn. Transfer the vegetables to a cutting board and cut into 1/4-inch pieces. Cut the corn from the cob directly into a bowl and mix in the scallions, peppers and squash.
- Meanwhile whisk the lemon juice, oil, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Add the oil mixture to the bowl of vegetables; toss to coat.
