Ingredients

  • 2 pieces hake fillets
  • 1 large tomato
  • 3 pieces garlic cloves
  • 0.5 pieces bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoons fresh parsley
  • to taste salt
  • to taste black pepper
  • 2 sheets parchment paper

Cooking instructions

  1. Prepare vegetables — Slice the tomato into thin rounds, finely chop the garlic, and cut the bell pepper into thin strips.
  2. Prepare parchment packets — Cut two large parchment paper sheets (about 12x12 inches). On each sheet, arrange half the tomato slices, bell pepper strips, and garlic in the center.
  3. Season and add fish — Place one hake fillet over the vegetables on each parchment sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, and sprinkle salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley evenly.
  4. Seal packets — Fold the parchment over the fish and vegetables and crimp the edges tightly to seal the packets completely.
  5. Bake — Place the packets on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20 minutes until the hake is cooked through and tender.
  6. Serve — Carefully open the parchment packets and transfer the fish with vegetables onto plates. Serve immediately.
