Baked New Potatoes and Cod En Papillote

  • Time
  • cook time 20 mins
  • Serve Serves 4

  • 400g new potatoes, sliced in half
  • 4 thick cut cod steaks (about 120g each)
  • 100g fresh spinach
  • 1 red pepper, sliced
  • 10g fresh parsley
  • 4 slices of lemon
  • 100ml white wine
  • 20g butter

Pre-heat your oven to 180C / gas 4.

Cut 4 large rectangular pieces of non-stick parchment paper, roughly 30cm x 25cm.

Bring a pan of water to the boil and cook the potatoes for about 8 minutes, drain. Take a piece of the parchment and fold in half. Divide the potatoes, pepper and spinach between the parchment paper on one half. Place a cod steak on top then place a slice of lemon on the fish. Season with salt and milled pepper and scatter over the parsley.

Drizzle over the wine and add a dot of butter. Wet the edges of the parchment with water and then seal all the ingredients in - like making a Cornish pasty.

Place the parcels onto a baking sheet and cook for about 15-20 minutes depending on how thick your cod is. Place the en papillote on serving plates so you open at the table.
