MICROWAVE FISH PARCELS

Ingredients
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • peeled and very finely sliced
  • ½ large leek
  • thinly sliced into rounds
  • 100g/3½oz frozen green beans
  • 100g/3½oz frozen peas
  • 4 x 75g/2½oz frozen pollock fillets
  • skinned and boned
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped chives
  • 4 tsp olive oil
  • ½ lemon
  • juice only
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
  • Lay 4 large square sheets of greaseproof paper onto a work surface. Divide the sweet potato between the 4 sheets
  • piling them into the centre of the paper. Divide the leeks
  • beans and frozen peas between the sheets then top each with a piece of frozen pollock. Season the fish well with salt and pepper. Scatter the chives over the top and drizzle with the rapeseed oil.
  • Seal the fish into a parcel by folding the paper in half into a triangle
  • then crimp the edges together
  • folding the edge over itself so that it seals all the way along
  • so it looks a little like a Cornish pasty!
  • Place 2 parcels onto a microwave-safe plate. Cook in the microwave on a high setting for 10 minutes until the fish is cooked through and the parcels have expanded. Leave them to rest for 2 minutes before opening.
  • To check that the fish is cooked through
  • open one of the parcels and see if the fish is white and hot to the touch. If not
  • reseal and return to the microwave for another 5 minutes and check again.
  • Put each parcel onto a plate and open at the table
  • adding a squeeze of lemon juice over the fish just before serving.
