This is so easy & tastes great. I've made enough for one, but you can easily double, treble, or quadruple.
My son said to me 'It looks like a restaurant meal'. So there you go, you too can throw this together, as it's all in the presentation.
I've got loads of piccy's for you, so let's get started.
Take;
1 piece of trout (or salmon, or pretty much any fillet of fish) or you could swap it for chicken.
1 lemon (if using fish)
Some washed raw spinach
Pack of green beans, washed with ends cut
Cherry tomatoes, washed & cut in halves
About 3/4 cup of baby new potatoes, washed & cut in halve
Sm knob of butter for cooking
Black pepper
Foil
Preheat oven to 200 degrees centigrade or gas mark 6
Get the potatoes on boiling in water,which will roughly take about 20 mins. The fish may take 15-20 mins depending on thickness.
Prep the fish by placing it on small piece of foil (there are 2 pieces of fish in the piccy), squeeze over some fresh lemon juice, add black pepper & small knob of butter, fold into a parcel, place on baking tray.
Place cherry tomatoes on small piece of foil, season & add a tiny amount of olive oil, or cook without oil. Place on the same baking tray.
Now prep the salad you want to use - I'm using raw spinach. Just add a nice amount to the bowl. Season & flavour, I've squeezed over some lemon juice & added black pepper.
Check your timings; the green beans may need 6-8 mins in boiling water, with the lid 3/4's on.
The fish may take slightly longer than the potatoes, or the potatoes may be done first. When the potatoes are ready, drain & place lid on pan to keep warm if you're waiting for the fish.
Have a look at the fish - are there any raw bits. is it hot & cooked the whole way through ? If the fish is cooked first, turn the oven off & leave it in the oven to keep warm.
When you've checked it's all cooked, it's time to create your masterpiece.
Add the warm potatoes, then the cooked cherry tomatoes & arrange the cooked beans over in a lovely pattern.
Now the final finishing touches. It's time for the star of the show to be placed on gently. For me that's the trout.
Then I've drizzled over a cap full of balsamic vinegar.
That's it - oh so simple but tastes & looks great.
Let me know how you get on. Is whoever you cooked it for impressed ? Are you impressed with yourself?!!
