Paper-wrapped steamed sea bass with potatoes, fennel and lemon, a quick, healthy dinner ready in under 15 minutes.
You will need:
- 2 skinless sea bass fillets
- 2 small potatoes, very thinly sliced
- 1 small fennel bulb, thinly sliced
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Small handful of fresh parsley
- 2 slices of lemon
Let's make it:
Step 1:
Using the steaming rack, measure some baking/greaseproof parchment over the top of the rack allowing a 3cm excess on each side; fold the paper to fit the tray so you have the creases formed for a parcel.
Step 2:
Drizzle the parcel base with a little olive oil. Place a single layer of the sliced potatoes onto the oil add a drizzle of olive oil and some seasoning. Top with the fish, a thin layer of fennel, a drizzle of oil and season again. Top with the fresh parsley and a slice of lemon.
Step 3:
Fold over the creases to encase the parcel. Wrap the parcel snugly in a piece of foil. Repeat to make the second parcel.
Step 4:
Pour 300ml of water into the base of the cooking pot.
Step 5:
Add the rack and place the parcels on top allowing a little room between them.
Step 6:
Secure the lid and ensure the steam release valve is in the release (open) position, press STEAM. Set the time for 6 minutes then press START/STOP.
