Baked Fish Parcels

I feel like a bit of a fraud writing this in because it is so easy, but I had a request for it to be included so here goes...
This is one of those dishes that can be prepared in advance and is pretty healthy - depending on what you add to it to flavour it. Because the fish is sealed within baking paper it is steamed to cook it.



This is simply fish fillets baked in baking paper. I do this as individual servings to cater for little people's tastes or as a dish for the family.

It's as simple as laying the fish on the paper (a big piece with lots of overlapping paper to fold up) then adding things to flavour it.


This could include a combination of some of the following:

  • a slug of white wine
  • little knobs of butter
  • soft green herbs such as basil, parsley, chives 
  • tomatoes
  • capsicum
  • mushrooms
  • spring onion
  • chilli sauce
  • lemon or lime
  • cheese
Twist up the sides of the paper so the fish steams then put in the oven.
A single serve will cook in about 8 minutes at 180 degrees C
A family serving will need abut 15 minutes.

It's important to remember that the fish will keep cooking after it comes out of the oven, so its ok to take it out when its not quite cooked through.
