Ingredients

120g – 150g white fish fillets

Lemons (zest and juice)

Chopped dill

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Tin foil

Directions

Tear foil into 4 pieces, approximately 25cm square. Place a fillet on each piece of foil and season with salt and pepper.

Squeeze lemon juice over each fillet and place 2 slices of lemon and sprigs of dill over the top. Fold over the top of fillet and wrap securely.

Bake in the oven for 8 – 10 minutes or until cooked. If you are using a BBQ, place the parcel on a medium hot BBQ plate for 8 minutes or until cooked.

Check if it is cooked by inserting a knife into the thickest part of the fillet and pulling the flesh apart slightly – flesh should be white and glossy.

Be careful of the steam escaping from the parcel, it will burn. Serve with a fresh salad and potatoes or rice.
