Ingredients

  • 120g baby spinach leaves
  • 4 fish fillets (we used salmon)

  • 1 lemon - juice and zest
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp basil, finely chopped

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180c and prepare 4 sheets of baking paper and 4 sheets of aluminium foil approx 35cm square.
  2. In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and zest, minced garlic and basil.
  3. To assemble the fish parcels lay each sheet of foil down with a piece of baking paper on top.
  4. Place a handful of spinach in the centre of each and top with fish fillet.
  5. Spoon the olive oil mixture evenly over the fish. Place 5 cherry tomatoes and 5 olives on top. Fold the paper and foil to enclose.
