Ingredients

  • 1 leek, pale section only, cut into matchsticks, washed and dried
  • 1 carrot, peeled and cut into matchsticks
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh tarragon
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 (about 180g each, 2cm thick) ocean trout portions, skin removed
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 20g reduced-fat dairy spread
  • Mixed salad leaves, to serve

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a large bowl, combine the leek, carrot, and tarragon. Season with salt and pepper. Cut four 40cm-diameter discs from non-stick baking paper.
  2. Place 1 trout portion on 1 half of each paper disc. Top the trout with the leek mixture and drizzle with lemon juice. Divide the dairy spread evenly among the fillings.
  3. Fold the discs in half to enclose the fillings. Fold the edges over to seal the parcels. Place the parcels on 2 baking trays.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven, swapping trays halfway through cooking, for 12 minutes or until the parcels puff up (the paper will fill with steam during cooking) and the trout is just cooked through. Place the parcels on serving plates, open them, and serve immediately with salad leaves.
