Baked salmon with cherry tomatoes and red onion paper parcels

These parcels are a brilliant way to bake fish in the oven. Steam cooks everything gently, with the goodness sealed inside the fragrant package.

Serves: 4

Ingredients

200g halved cherry tomatoes

1 sliced red onion

2 finely chopped cloves garlic

200g crumbled feta cheese

4 x 200g Salmon or trout

salt and pepper

Juice of one lemon

Method

Preheat the oven to 160°C. Fold a 60cm square of wax paper in half. Layer the cherry tomatoes, red onion and garlic and sprinkle with the feta cheese. Place salmon on top and season with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Fold the wax paper over to create a parcel that seals in the steam during the cooking process. The parcel should be completely closed. Bake for 20 minutes. Open just before serving and garnish with fresh herbs. Tip: for a budget-friendly option, use yellowtail or hake.
