Ingredients
cod fillet - 1lb 6oz skinless cut into 4
thyme - 4 small sprigs
orange - 1, ½ very finely sliced, other half kept whole for juicing
asparagus - 10½ oz trimmed and sliced in half lengthways
Olive oil
butter - 1½ oz
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Cut 4 pieces
of approx 45cm x 45cm greaseproof paper.
Place a piece of cod in the middle of each piece
of paper and season the fish generously. Place a
sprig of thyme on top of each fish and top with a
couple of slices of orange. Then arrange the
asparagus stems around the fish, and season with
salt and pepper. Squeeze over a few drops of
orange juice, drizzle everything with a little
olive oil then place 10g butter in each parcel.
Fold one half of the paper over the fish and wrap
it up into a parcel, tucking in the sides. Fit
into a baking tray, then place in the oven for
about 15 minutes. Before removing all the parcels,
check that a piece of the fish is cooked by
inserting a skewer into the middle of the fish and
holding it there for five seconds, then removing
it and carefully touching it to your lip; if it’s
hot the parcels are ready, if it’s cool then keep
cooking for a little longer. Place a parcel on
each plate and serve with blanched spinach and new
potatoes.
