When we saw some beautiful bream fillets at the fish shop I knew what I wanted to cook.
My brother, knowing I love farmers markets, saw this cookbook and bought it for me.
It is such a simple recipe using fresh ingredients.
The potato is boiled, cooled, sliced and arranged on four oiled filo pastry sheets.
Top with baby spinach and your fillet of fish.
Wrap up into a parcel and bake for 20 minutes.
The pastry was so flakey and the fish moist and delicious.
All it needed was a lemon sauce - next time I will make one!
The plum charlottes are also in the book. The dariole moulds are lined with butter and sugar followed by bread dipped in butter - no not a healthy recipe.
The filling was plum cooked with some cinnamon and once cool mixed with a little ground almonds. Top with a round of bread and bake for 25 minutes.
What a amazing result for a simple dessert.
Surrounded by a pool of cream it was so crunchy and delicious on the outside,
and the plums that oozed from the inside were perfect.
These both look AMAZING! I'll wait for plums to come back into season for the pudding but I'm definitely going to try the fish parcels :)

ReplyDeleteThey both sound wonderful!Especially the fish wrapped in filo is very inventive!xxx
ReplyDeleteOmg awesome recipe! I just bought Filo pastry the other day and I rarely bake my fish (just cause I don't know that many recipes) so I can't wait to try this. Always love browsing the food you share here. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy mouth is watering! The fish parcels look so good! I love how everything is wrapped up together. And your plum charlotte looks scrumptious! I've never seen those molds before. Thanks for making my sausage dish! I am so bad at twittering... sorry I didn't respond.
ReplyDeleteTwo great recipes muppy. I really want to give the fish parcel a go soon!
ReplyDeleteI've made such a similar fish recipe but always used baking paper, not filo, to wrap on account of my mum's wheat allergy. Now I can try *this* deliciousness, because I live out of home now. Wheee!
ReplyDeleteBoth recipes sound amazing. I love fish, so I would love to try this recipe, it is nothing like I have had before.
ReplyDeleteI'm such a huge fan of parcels... and yours look scrumptious. Think I need to try to make it myself one day.
