bump what is fast fish like..planning menu....

.

looks like Cod is all fished out, popsycal :o

oh sorry fast fish wa sok but i over cooked it.

Had this last night - I used salmon fillets but you could also use cod, haddock, hake, etc.

For two people:

Peel and cut 300g carrots into thin matchstick strips. Put in a saucepan with a knob of butter, the zest and juice of one orange and 1/2 tsp ground coriander seeds. Add some water to just below the surface of the carrots and cook uncovered over a high heat until the liquid has evaporated and the carrots are tender. Season with salt and pepper and divide the carrots between two sheets of kitchen foil.

Place a fillet of fish on each pile of carrots and scatter with chopped spring onion, grated fresh ginger, chopped fresh coriander and finely chopped green chilli (optional). Put a couple of slices of fresh orange on top and a knob of butter. Fold over the foil and tightly roll the edges to make a parcel a la Jamie Oliver.

Put on a baking tray in a preheated oven (200) for 20-25 minutes.

We had this with new potatoes. It has quite a sweet taste because of the oranges but if you use the chilli it counteracts it so not too sickly. Btw I used Waitrose's Cooks Ingredients ready chopped ginger and chilli (ie out of a jar!) as I didn't have fresh and it was fine.

This recipe is from an old edition of Delicious - would definitely recommend this magazine if you want to find some good new recipes. I've only bought it 3 times but regularly use lots of recipes from it - probably more than I do my expensive cook books!

sounds good - will have to try it during the week

here we are!
