Easy Asian Style Fish Parcels

We’ve teamed up with Sainsbury’s to bring you low-cost, feel-good recipes. Easy, tasty and stress-free. Get your ingredients delivered by Sainsbury’s in just a few taps. These Easy Asian-Style Fish Parcels are a weeknight winner, tender white fish and crisp veggies - mangetout and baby corn, all wrapped in baking paper with fragrant ginger, garlic, sesame and soy sauce. Steam-cooked in their own juices, the parcels lock in flavour and keep the fish perfectly moist, making for a fuss-free, healthy dinner. Serve with microwave rice for a speedy, restaurant-style meal at home, with minimal washing up. If you are cooking for a large number you may find it easier to add the fish to a baking dish and cover it with tinfoil instead.

Ingredients

garlic cloves 2 (grated)
ginger 15 g (grated)
lime 2 (zest & juice)
soy sauce 2 tbsp
sesame oil 3 tbsp
honey 2 tsp
frozen cod fillets 4 ½
baby corn & mangetout 400 g
basmati microwave rice 500 g

Method

Prep & cook the parcels

Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan.
Peel and grate the garlic cloves and fresh ginger. Juice half the lime and cut the rest into slices.
In a bowl mix together the ginger. garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, sesame oil and honey.
Lay out a sheet of baking paper, vertically up, for each piece of cod. Arrange the baby corn & mangetout in a rectangle that's roughly a bit bigger than the cod. Put the cod on top then drizzle over the dressing. Pop a lime slice** on top of the fish.
Fold the top half of the baking paper over the cod, then fold/crimp together the edges of the baking paper to create sealed parcels, making sure the edges are sealed so no steam escapes. Repeat until all the cod is assembled.
Place the parcels on a baking tray and bake for 15 - 20 minutes, depending on the size of your cod. The fish should be just cooked and flake easily.

Cook the rice

When you're nearly ready to eat, microwave the basmati microwave rice according to the packet instructions.

Plate Up

Gently open the parcels and plate up the fish with the rice and serve with the lime slices. Tuck in and enjoy.
