Method

Preheat the oven to 190°C / 375°F, Gas mark 5

Cut four large squares of greaseproof paper.  Place a piece of fish onto each square.  Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with lime or lemon juice and dot with butter.

Seal the edges of the paper to make a parcel.  Place the parcels on a baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes.

Meanwhile place the remaining ingredients into a small pan.  Remove the cooked parcels from the oven and carefully pour the cooking juices into the pan.

Cook briskly for 2-3 minutes.  Transfer the fish to a serving plate and spoon over the vegetables and juices.

Serve hot with mixed coloured pasta tossed in a little olive oil and fresh herbs.
