tip: a fish in a parcel

For ➍
4 portions (150 g) fish, such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, mullet or sea bass, off the bone.*
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Place each fish portion on a large piece of oiled parchment paper or aluminium foil. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Then roll up the edges of the paper or foil to prevent the juices from burning in the dish and enclose, sealing the edges.
Cook in the oven for 12-18 m or until the fish is cooked through to the centre.
To serve, place the parcels on warmed serving plates.
Serve with a sauce, dressing or salad like the slightly Oriental tomato & cucumber & ginger salsa.

*Leave the skin on if you wish. De-scale if it's salmon, mullet or sea bass.
