In this recipe, cod fillets are topped with a ready-made green pesto, then baked with lots of colourful veg in a paper parcel for maximum succulence and flavour.

Ingredients

Reduced fat green pesto

2 tablespoon(s), level

Cod, raw

4 fillet(s), medium

Cherry Tomatoes

200 g, halved

Courgette

2 medium, trimmed and cut into 3cm chunks

Red pepper

1 medium, deseeded and cut into 3cm chunks

Basil, fresh

2 tablespoon(s), leaves, to serve

Lemon

1 medium, cut into wedges, to serve

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C, fan 170°C, gas mark 5. Spread the pesto over the fish and season to taste. Put a 40cm x 30cm rectangle of kitchen foil on the work surface and top with an equal-sized rectangle of baking paper.
  2. Pile a quarter of all the vegetables on the paper, leaving a 3cm border at the edges, season to taste, then top with a piece of fish. Bring the paper up and over the fish and vegetables and scrunch the sides together to seal.
  3. Put the parcel on a baking tray, then repeat with the remaining veg and fish to make 3 more parcels. Bake for 25 minutes, then transfer the parcels to plates. Open them up and scatter over the fresh basil and some freshly ground black pepper. Serve with the lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over.
