Ingredients

For the fish:

4 Red Mullet fillets

1 Lemon, zested, then cut in half and juiced for the veg

1 tbsp Green Olives, drained and sliced into rings

2 large cloves Garlic, peeled and finely sliced

For the veg:

500g Cherry or Baby Plum Tomatoes, washed and halved

1 Yellow Pepper, washed, trimmed, de-seeded and cut into bite-sized pieces

1 Red Pepper,washed, trimmed, de-seeded and cut into bite-sized pieces

1 medium Courgette, washed, trimmed and sliced into 0.5cm ‘coins’

3 cloves Garlic, peeled and finely sliced

The juice from the Lemon used for the fish

Light Olive Oil

Sea Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper

Small bunch of Flat-Leaf Parsley, washed, leaves picked and roughly chopped

Method

First, preheat the oven to 200°C. Next, arrange the tomatoes, peppers, courgette, and garlic in a roasting tray or ovenproof dish, spreading them out in a single layer. After that, drizzle the vegetables with lemon juice and olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat everything evenly.
Meanwhile, after the vegetables have roasted for about 10 minutes, tear off four large sheets of foil, and then place slightly smaller sheets of baking paper on top of each one. Place two fish fillets on each piece of paper, sprinkle them with lemon zest, then add the olive and garlic slices, seasoning with salt and pepper. Afterward, fold and seal each parcel by scrunching the edges, and place them on a baking tray.
At this point, check the vegetables, turning them if necessary, and then slide the tray with the fish into the oven to bake for about 10 more minutes, until the fish flakes easily. If the vegetables appear fully cooked before the fish is done, simply cover them with foil to keep warm.
Finally, to serve, divide the vegetables among four plates, place two fish fillets on top of each portion, and sprinkle with chopped parsley. If desired, add a handful of salad leaves, and enjoy!
