• Pre-heat oven to 400F degrees.
• Cut fish into four equal pieces. Set aside
• In a small glass bowl whisk the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Set aside
• Cut 8 pieces of aluminum foil that is big enough to accomodate the fish and vegetable.
• Place one piece of foil on the counter/ work surface. On the first layer add 5-6 asparagus spears. On top of the asparagus place 6 zucchini rounds. Place the fish on top of the zucchini. Top the fish with 2-3 cherry tomatoes, whole or halved.
• Season each fish and vegetable packet with garlic oregano oil.
• Top the fish with a second piece of foil. Fold both bottom and top foil pieces together tightly.
• Place the fish packets on a sheet pan and bake for 18-20 minutes.

• Completely remove the top foil. You can either serve the fish in foil packets or slide the fish and vegetables onto a plate. Add a lemon slice and fresh cilantro to each packet

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.

MEDITERRANEAN FISH PARCELS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to fan 170C/conventional 190C/gas 5. Boil potatoes in lightly salted water for about 12 minutes or until tender, then drain well.
• Take 2 large sheets of foil, about 30cm square, and brush the middle area of each sheet with the olive oil. Put a fish fillet on top and spread with the tomato paste. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and juice, add the cooked potatoes, olives and capers and season with ground pepper.
• Lay a sprig of rosemary or thyme on top then loosely wrap and secure each parcel tightly to completely enclose the ingredients. You can prepare these up to half a day in advance and keep them in the fridge.
• Put the fish parcels on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes when tested with a fork. Serve at once, with steamed green beans.

FISH IN FOIL

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Rinse fish, and pat dry.
• Rub fillets with olive oil, and season with garlic salt and black pepper. Place each fillet on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Top with jalapeno slices, and squeeze the juice from the ends of the lemons over the fish. Arrange lemon slices on top of fillets. Carefully seal all edges of the foil to form enclosed packets. Place packets on baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of fish. Fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
