Prep: 15 mins

Cook: 20 mins

Level: Beginner

Serves: 4

Contains: Fish, coconut.

Ingredients

  • 4x 6 oz. (170g) white fish filets (e.g. cod or halibut)

  • 11 oz. (320g) cooked rice of your choosing.

  • 1 lemon, sliced

  • basil, thinly sliced

  • red chilli, sliced

  • 2 carrots, cut into matchsticks

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced

For the marinade:

  • 1 shallot, chopped

  • 4 tbsp. ginger, chopped

  • 1 lemongrass stalk, peeled & chopped into pieces

  • 1 turmeric root, chopped

  • 1 tsp. coriander

  • ½ red chili, seeds removed & chopped

  • zest from 1 lime

  • juice from ½ lime

  • 4 tbsp. basil

  • 7 oz. (200g) can coconut milk

Method

  • Set the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • Place all marinade ingredients in a food processor and blitz until smooth. Place the fish in a bowl, pour half of the marinade over the fish, and set aside in the refrigerator to marinate for 15-20 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, prepare 4 large sheets of parchment paper, about 16.5”x22” (40x55cm), and fold each sheet in half. Open up the parchment and in the centre along the crease, add a ½ cup of cooked rice. Top the rice with 2 lemon slices, basil and red chilli, and then place the fish on top. Spread the remaining marinade over the fish. Place the carrots and bell pepper alongside the fish. Fold the parchment parcel up, and roll the edges until sealed.

  • Place the parchment parcels on a baking sheet and bake in the hot oven for 15-20 minutes.

  • Serve immediately, taking care when opening the parcels to allow the steam to escape.
