Baked fish with vegetables en papillote

Meal type: Main meal

Serves: 4

Preparation time: 20 minutes

Cooking time: 20 minutes

  1. Preheat oven to 200ºC/180ºC fan/gas mark 6. Brush four pieces of foil with rapeseed oil; arrange some pepper slices, spring onions and cherry tomatoes on each piece of foil, dividing evenly. Season fish fillets with black pepper; place one fish fillet on top of each portion of vegetables.
  2. Combine soy sauce, rice wine, chilli, garlic and ginger in a small bowl; drizzle a little of this mixture over each fish fillet. Bring up sides of each piece of foil and scrunch them together tightly to make four sealed parcels.
  3. Place foil parcels on a baking tray; bake in oven for about 20 minutes or until fish is cooked. Carefully open up parcels (you can let your guests do this if you like) and sprinkle with coriander. Serve the steaming parcels with crushed boiled new potatoes (or mashed potatoes) and cooked green vegetables such as broccoli or green beans.
