Baking Fish in Paper Cases

Chunky fillets or steaks offish are delicious baked in greaseproof paper or foil with knobs of butter, sprigs of fresh herbs, wafer-thin strips of vegetables or toasted split almonds and splashes of wine, sherry or vermouth.

The fish makes its own delicious juices while it cooks, then the parcels are unwrapped at the table by each diner. As each parcel is opened it releases the most wonderful aroma.

Either simply wrap up in rectangles of greaseproof paper with a double fold on top, tucking the sides under, or try this more striking presentation.
