Fish in foil, with Butternut salsa vibe
Fish in Foil: spread a good sheet length of foil out on a flat surface, now place the portions of fish in the middle, I used frozen hake. Now add a cracked garlic clove, a whole chilli split down the middle and about two slithers of a lemon rind, salt papper and a knob of butter. Close up the foil, creating a tight fit so no steam escapes. Shove in the oven at about 200 C for about 20 mins.
Butternut salsa vibe: cut butternut into “julliene” thick matchsticks and cook for about 5 mins in the microwave. In another bowl add chopped up: tomato, cucumber, bit of onion, ginger and chilli and a bunch of parsley( or basil or whatever you feel like). Then squeeze the juice of a lemon into the salsa, as well as a dash of soy sauce. Add the butternut, season and mix well.
Serving up: lay the Butternut salsa around the plate, leaving a gap in the middle. Fill the gap with Jasmin Rice and place the fish on top of the rice.
Its a different dish, with great flavours and something that is both healthy and hearty!
Lovely! I am on the hunt for squash recipes since that is what is “in” at the farmer’s market. Nice!
I love doing fish in foil parcels – you get the flavours really infusing the fish without the flesh drying out. Like the idea of butternut salsa too – thanks for the sharing the recipe
