    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Preheat oven to 200.C (or 180.C fan-forced). Cut potatoes and carrots in very thin slices (you can use a vegetable peeler to create long thin slices).

    2 Cut 4 tinfoil squares, about 15cm x 15cm. Arrange potato and carrot slices on each square. Sprinkle with oregano. Arrange fish fillets on top. Cover with 1 spinach leaf.

    3 To make each fish parcel, raise the four corners of tinfoil square, pour in 1/4 cup milk then twist corners to seal. Bake for 35 minutes. Serve with corn or a salad if you prefer.

    Variations

    • Kale is a good substitute for spinach.
    • Experiment with kumara slices instead of potato.
    • For a creamier dish, use light coconut cream.
    • To reduce the oven time to 15 minutes, pre-cook potato and carrot slices in the microwave for 5 minutes on high.
    • Fresh salmon works beautifully in this recipe but it’s more expensive.
