Salmon, coconut and lime parcels recipe
These fragrant salmon, coconut and lime parcels can be baked in the oven or, if you have barbecue embers still smouldering, cooked outdoors. The fish sits in an aromatic coconut, lime, chilli, soy and lemon grass sauce so make sure the foil is tightly sealed around them.

Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C, or wait until the embers of the fire are nicely white-hot. Cut out 6 rectangles of foil big enough to enclose the fish and brush a side of each with the oil.
- Dissolve the coconut in 120ml (4fl.oz) hot water. Put a salmon fillet in the middle of the oiled side of each piece of foil. Raise the edges to create a bowl, then divide the lime zest, lemongrass, chilli, soy sauce and coconut liquid between each parcel. Scrunch the foil to make sealed parcels.
- Put the parcels on a tray and bake for 12-15 minutes.
- If cooking on the bonfire, put the parcels in the embers and cook for 15 minutes. Serve in the foil parcels or plate up with lime wedges and rice.
