Ingredients

  • 720 g fish fillets 4x fillets, snapper, barramundi, salmon or ocean trout
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lemon sliced
  • 2 tbsp fresh thyme

Method

  • You will need 4 x pieces baking paper (parchment paper) cut into 4 large squares.
  • Pre-heat oven to 200 C.
  • Place pieces of baking paper a kitchen benchtop. Place one fish fillet into the middle of each piece of baking paper.
  • Brush olive oil over each fish fillet.
  • Add one slice of lemon over the fish. Sprinkle over the thyme and season with a pinch of salt.
  • To make a ‘bag’, bring baking paper sides up over the fish and double fold the top and sides to seal. This will make little packets.
  • Place each fish packet on a baking tray and bake for 12-15minutes until cooked through. Cooking times will vary depending on how thick the fish fillet is.  
  • Once cooked, remove fish from the baking paper and place onto a serving plate.
  • Serve with seasonal vegetables.

Notes

You can add julienned vegetables to the fish parcel too.
