Fish Baked in Parchment Paper

Preheat the oven to 220oC and place a baking tray in the oven.

Cook the sliced potatoes in boiling salted water until just tender. Drain well.

Toss the fennel with the olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, thyme and olives. Add the potatoes and gently combine. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.

Take the baking paper and fold into thirds widthways. Open out the paper. Place 1/8 of the fennel/potato mixture in the centre section of each piece of paper. Place the fish on top, season and top with the butter. Add the tomatoes to the remaining fennel and place on top of the fish. Bring the edges together at one end and fold over 2-3 times. Staple to secure. Repeat at the other end. Leave the centre open.

When you are ready to cook, pour a tablespoon of vermouth or wine into each bag. Fold the centre edges and staple. Place on the hot baking tray and cook for 10-12 minutes. The bag should puff up and the paper turns a pale golden colour.

Place the bags on individual serving plates and serve with lemon wedges and a herb garnish. Each person then opens their own parcel and inhales the delicious aromas. Serves 4
