MEDITERRANEAN FISH PARCELS

Steps:

• MAKE FISH PARCELSPreheat oven to 180ºC (350ºF) fan bake. Cut four pieces of aluminium foil and four pieces of baking paper big enough to each enclose one quarter of the fish. Lay baking paper on top of foil and place individual portions of fish on top of the paper, in the centre. Cut cherry tomatoes in half and feta into cubes. Divide into four and place on top of the fish.
• Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, lemon zest, basil and parsley. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle over the fish. Fold the aluminium foil and baking paper up over the fish to form four individual parcels. Place on an oven tray and bake for 20 minutes.
• PREPARE RICE AND BEANSWhile the fish is cooking, grate the courgette and trim the beans. Place the beans in a heat proof bowl. 5 minutes before the fish is due to come out the oven, pour boiling water over the beans. Leave to sit for 4 minutes then drain, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Cook rice according to packet instructions, then mix together with the courgette and pesto.
• SERVEServe fish parcels with rice, green beans and lemon wedges (you can use the zested lemon from earlier). Don't leave behind the juice in the fish parcels - it adds lots of delicious flavour to the meal!

BAKED FISH PARCELS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200° C with a baking tray in the centre of the oven.
• Measure the soy sauce and lemon juice into a small bowl. Add the cornflour and mix until the are no lumps, then stir in the sweet chilli sauce, garlic and chopped coriander (if using).
• Cut the carrot into thin julienne's and top and tail the beans or trim the asparagus spears and cut them diagonally into 5cm pieces. Place a 30x40 cm piece of baking paper (or foil) on a dinner plate (this stops the sauce running off) and place half the vegetables in the middle. Place one serving of the fish on top of the vegetables, then drizzle the stack with half the sauce. Fold up the edges of the baking paper (or foil) sheets and seal loosely with paperclips. Repeat the process on another sheet of paper or foil.
• Carefully lift the parcels onto the hot baking tray in the oven, then bake at 200° C for 12 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven and allow the parcels to cool for a few minutes before serving with rice or noodles.

STEAMED FISH & PAK CHOI PARCELS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place each fillet in the centre of a large square of foil. Top with the pak choi, spring onions, chilli and ginger, then pull up the edges of the foil.
• Mix together the soy sauce, lime juice and 1 tbsp of water then spoon a little over each fillet. Crimp the top of the foil to enclose the fish and make sure there are no gaps for the steam to escape.
• Place the parcels on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 mins until the fish is cooked through (this will depend on the thickness of your fish). Open up the parcels and drizzle over a few drops of sesame oil. Serve with rice.
