AROMATIC SNAPPER PARCELS

Preparation Method :

• Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas 6). Combine the basil, garlic, lemon juice, zest and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season.
• Place a fish fillet in the centre of a sheet of foil large enough to fully enclose it. Season.
• Smear the fillet with 2 teaspoons of the basil mixture, then wrap into a secure parcel with the foil. Repeat with the remaining fillets. Place on a baking tray and refrigerate until required.
• Cook the potatoes in a saucepan of boiling water for 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and keep warm.
• While the potatoes are cooking, brush the asparagus and squash with the remaining oil.
• Place on a baking tray and season with freshly ground black pepper. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and tender.
• About 10 minutes before the vegetables are ready, place the fish parcels in the oven and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the flesh flakes easily when tested with a fork.
• Check one of the parcels after 5 minutes to see if the fish is cooked through. Place the opened parcels on serving plates with the vegetables, season to taste and serve.
