Whole sea bream cooked en papillote

Ingredients:

  • 4 whole sea bream, gutted and cleaned
  • 3 lemons, juiced
  • 1 small bulb fennel, finely sliced
  • 8 sprigs rosemary
  • 2 red chillies, seeded and finely sliced
  • 200ml white wine

Method:

  1. Heat the oven to 180'C. 
  2. Tear 4 large sheets of baking paper and fold each in half. (Each piece should be big enough to fit a whole fish into)
  3. With salt and pepper season the sea bream.
  4. Inside the belly of each fish lay most of the lemons (slightly overlapping), then some fennel, a sprig of rosemary and the chilli. 
  5. On top of the fish place a few slices of lemon and a sprig of rosemary (tie in place with some butchers string)
  6. In the centre of each piece of folded baking paper place the fish then fold up the sides a little to catch the liquid.
  7. Divide the white wine and lemon juice over each fish, then scrunch the baking paper together to seal like a rough parcel. 
  8. Put the parcels on a baking tray and bake for 18-20 minutes.
  9. Serve and Enjoy!
