15ml (1tbsp) olive oil
4 sea bass fillets
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
4 small tomatoes, sliced
Few sprigs fresh basil, roughly shredded
Boiled new potatoes and salad leaves to serve

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F, gas mark 4). Cut four large sheets of greaseproof paper and lightly grease with a little of the olive oil.
Place a fish fillet in the centre of each sheet of paper and top with some of the sliced onion, tomato and shredded basil. Fold over the tail end of the fillet and drizzle over the rest of the oil. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Fold the paper over the fish fillets and scrunch the edges together to make parcels. Place all four parcels on a large baking sheet and bake for 20-25 mins. Carefully open the parcels and transfer the fish and any juices to serving plates. Serve with boiled new potatoes and salad leaves.
