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.
