Steamed white fish

Ingredients

• 2 pcs Hake fillets
• 1 pcs Lemon, deseeded and thinly sliced
• 1 clove Garlic
• 2 pcs Unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp White wine
• 4 sprig Thyme, fresh
• 1 pcs Extra virgin olive oil
• 1/8 tbsp Freshly ground pepper
• 1 pinch Salt

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
2. Mix together the vegetables then toss to combine.
3. Season each fish fillet with salt and pepper then place it on a large parchment paper.
4. Place 2 baking sheets onto the baking plate (approx. 60 by 50 cm).
5. Divide the mixed vegetables into two equal portions and arrange them on the middle of the paper.
6. Put the fish on top of the vegetables.
7. Layer 2 sprigs of thyme, 1 tbsp white wine, 2 lemon slices, and a pat of butter on top of each portion.
8. Pinch the parchment paper around the edges to create the shape of a half moon. Make sure you seal the fish well to ensure the steam doesn’t escape.
9. Place the baking plate into the oven and bake for around 12 minutes (or any of the aforementioned alternatives) or until the fish is cooked through (this depends on how thick the fish fillets were).
10. Cut open the parchment paper and remove the sprig of thyme and the lemon slices.
11. To serve, pour the vegetables on a plate and place the fish on top of the vegetables using a spatula. Don’t leave any juices behind.
