  1. Can ghee be substituted for the melted butter? Also, is it safe to cook with aluminum foil? I’m hoping so because I really love cooking fish in foil packets on the grill like this recipe.

    1. Absolutely you can sub in ghee! Also I looked up alternatives to aluminum foil in general and found this to be helpful: If you need to cover something in the oven you can use a baking sheet, metal lid, parchment paper, silicone lid, or a silicone mat instead of aluminum foil.
