1 red pepper, cored, deseeded and thinly sliced

1 carrot, peeled and thinly sliced

1 red onion, peeled and thinly sliced

110g/4oz/³/₄ cup green beans, thinly sliced

50g/2oz/scant 1 cup fresh basil

4 halibut steaks (about 150g/5oz each)

1 lemon, thinly sliced

salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6. Cut four sheets of parchment paper, A4 size, 297 × 210cm/12 × 8in.

2 Mix the vegetables together in a bowl. Divide the basil leaves between the four pieces of parchment paper, placing the basil in the centre of the paper. Neatly arrange the vegetables on top of the basil.

3 Gently place the fish steaks on top of the vegetable mixture. Season the fish with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place a slice or two of lemon on top of each fish.

4 Fold the parchment paper over from each side and twist both ends, much like a Christmas cracker, making sure that the fish is completely enclosed and sealed in.

5 Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Serve immediately, placing each paper parcel on the plates.

Tip:

It is important to cut the vegetables into thin slices, as the fish will cook quite quickly and you don’t want the vegetables to remain too hard.
