Healthy Parcel Fried Fish

Recipe submitted by ND14

Pin It

I love fried fish but I don't like the smelly, oily and smoky odour in the house. My husband bought a 500 sheets box of silver foil (32cm by 32cm) from the cheap shop about 2 years ago and I have not used it at all. Looking at the silver foil, an idea came up with frying fish in the oven using the silver foil.

Serves 3

Ingredients

800 g whole barramundi - cut into 4 pie ces
1 tablespoon crushed black pepper
3 tablespoons lebanese fish roasting spice - from lebanese deli
3 tablespoons besan flour/chickpea flour
Olive oil spray

2 square sheets of silver foil
1 trivet
1 roasting pan

Notes & Tips

The silver foil envelope must be sealed tightly and high oven heat to act as the frying process. If you do not have high heat, the fish will be steamed instead of being fried. You can substitute the Lebanese fish roasting spice with any of your favourite spice or even do it plain with just salt and pepper.
