Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Lay out a large piece of non-stick baking parchment, brush lightly with oil. Place the fish on top and fill their cavities with most of the lemongrass and a little ginger. Mix the remaining lemongrass and ginger with the spring onion and chilli and pile on the fish. Spoon over the rice vinegar and soy sauce and fold up the parcel.
  2. Put on a warm baking sheet and cook for 15 minutes. Open the parcel at the table and scatter over coriander, and a squeeze of lime.

    This was my first time eating sea bream and I absolutely loved it. The recipe was easy to follow and everyone was impressed with how it was presented and the great flavours. I boiled some baby potatoes and roasted then in the oven with a sprinkling of sea salt and some lime juice.
