Ingredients

4 x 180 g fish fillet (Snapper, barramundi, salmon or ocean trout)

1 Tablespoon extravirgin olive oil  

Sea salt, one pinch  

1 lemon, sliced  

Thyme fresh, 2 tablespoons  

4 x pieces baking paper (parchment paper) cut into 4 large squares  

Method

  1. Pre-heat oven to 200 C. 
  2. Place four pieces of baking paper a kitchen benchtop. Place one fish fillet into the middle of each piece of baking paper. 
  3. Brush olive oil over each fish fillet.  
  4. Add one slice of lemon over the fish. Sprinkle over the thyme and season with a pinch of salt. 
  5. 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.  
  6. Place each fish packet on a baking tray and bake for 12-15 minutes until cooked through. Cooking times will vary depending on how thick the fish fillet is.   
  7. Once cooked, remove fish from the baking paper and place onto a serving plate. 
  8. Serve with seasonal vegetables  

*Note: you can add julienned vegetables to the fish parcel too.
