Instructions

    Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Take 4 large pieces of foil (about 30 x 30cm) and lay them on the worktop.


  2. 2

    Put a piece of fish in the middle of each piece of foil, season well and grate the lemon zest over. Divide the samphire between the fish and then top with a piece of butter. Sprinkle over the herbs and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using).


  3. 3

    Fold the foil up to seal each of the parcels. Place on a baking tray and into the oven to cook for 12-15 mins, until just cooked through. Serve with veg of your choice and a squeeze of lemon.
