Tammy's fish parcels

An easy, fun way to cook fish. Simply wrap everything in a tin foil parcel, bake in a hot oven and serve.

Cooking directions

• Place one fish fillet in the middle of a piece of tin foil or baking paper.
• Top fish fillet with some kumara slices, green peppers, carrots and leeks.
• Sprinkle with paprika.
• Wrap in tin foil. Repeat for each fish fillet.
• Bake in oven for 20 to 25 minutes at 180 degrees or until fish is cooked (fish is cooked when it is white all the way through).
• When ready, unwrap and enjoy.
• Serve with salad or coleslaw.

Tip:

• Use any veggies you have on hand, eg courgette, spinach or silverbeet, tomato, mushrooms or onion.
• Fresh fish can be expensive, but is often on special. Keep an eye out for specials at your supermarket or market.
• Frozen fish fillets, such as Dory or Hoki fillets (not crumbed), work well too. Look out for these in the frozen foods section of your supermaket.
• Try other herbs and spices instead of paprika.
