Baked Fish Parcels with Carrots & Oranges


Ingredients:
1 large carrots ~ cut thinly matchstick strips
2" fresh ginger ~ cut thinly matchstick strips
3 tbsp butter
1 tsp grated orange zest
Juice of 1 large orange
1/2 tsp ground coriander
2 white fish fillets
2-3 spring onions ~ chopped
1 fresh green chili ~ deseeded & cut diagonally fine
2-3 slices fresh orange

Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 200 deg C.  Cut out baking paper or kitchen foil & set aside.
  2. Place the carrots in a medium-sized pan with butter, the orange zest & juice & coriander seeds.   Add some water to come to just below the surface of the carrots, then cook, uncovered over a high heat until the carrots are almost tender & the liquid has evaporated.   Season well with salt & freshly ground black pepper & divide the cooked carrots between the baking paper or foil.
  3. Place a piece of fish on each pile of carrots, then scatter the spring onions, ginger shreds, fresh coriander & finely shredded green chili over the fish.
  4. Cut each orange slice in half & place 2-3 orange halves on each piece of fish.   Season with salt & pepper & add butter to each parcel.   Fold over the baking paper or foil & twist & fold the edges to create a really tight seal.   Place the foil or baking paper bags on a baking tray & cook on the centre shelf of the preheated over for 20-25 mins.
  5. Open the bags & serve.
