Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

  2. Step 2

    Use about a third of the olive oil to smear on the parchment or foil. Place the fillet on the oiled surface, and sprinkle the rest of the oil on top. Strew the lemon rind and capers over the top, and sprinkle with freshly ground pepper to taste.

  3. Step 3

    Draw the sides and ends of the paper or foil up over the fish to form a loose packet. Crimp the edges together to make a tight seal.

  4. Step 4

    Place the fish on a tray or cookie sheet. Place in the oven, and bake for 10 minutes. Serve the whole packet on a dinner plate; diners open their packets at table. Garnish with watercress.

Tip
  • This is an all-purpose recipe that can be adapted to almost any kind of fish, steaks, fillets or small whole fish. Cooking times should be adapted accordingly, and flavorings can be varied to taste.

Fast and good! I made it as written, minus the watercress. Watercress was the only ingredient I didn't have on hand.
