Lime and sweet chilli fish parcels are a delightful and healthy dish that brings together the tangy zest of lime with the sweet heat of chilli. This recipe is perfect for anyone looking to prepare a flavourful dinner that is also quick and easy to make. By cooking the fish in parcels, you ensure that it remains moist and absorbs all the incredible flavours of the marinade.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Tear off four large pieces of aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place them on the counter and lightly spray the center of each with cooking spray.
Cut the salmon into four equal portions. Place one salmon fillet in the center of each piece of prepared foil or parchment paper.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, and salsa sauce. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Spoon the lime and sweet chilli mixture evenly over each salmon fillet, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Sprinkle the chopped scallions evenly over the top.
Fold up the edges of the foil or parchment paper and crimp them together to form tightly-sealed parcels. Make sure the edges are well-sealed to prevent any sauce from leaking during cooking.
Place the sealed parcels on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully open the parcels (watch out for the hot steam) and serve the salmon with steamed vegetables, rice, or your favorite side dish.
Tips:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) before starting the preparation.
- Use fresh salmon fillets for the best flavour and texture.
- Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 15 minutes to fully absorb the flavours.
- Make sure to tightly seal the parcels to prevent any steam from escaping, ensuring that the fish cooks evenly.
- Serve the fish parcels with a side of steamed vegetables or rice for a well-balanced meal.
