Ingredients you'll need
  • 250g cherry tomatoes
  • 1 green pepper
  • 1 lemon
  • A handful of rosemary
  • 2 haddock fillets
  • 150g wholewheat couscous
  • 50g lamb's lettuce
From your kitchen
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
You'll need
  • Baking tray
  • Measuring jug
Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Heat your oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6. Fill your kettle and boil it. Halve the cherry tomatoes and pop them into a bowl. Halve the green pepper and scoop out the white seeds and pith, then roughly chop it. Add it to the bowl.

  • 2.

    Finely grate in the zest from the lemon and add 1 tbsp olive oil, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Toss the veg and seasoning together.

  • 3.

    Tear 2 large rectangles of baking paper or foil off the roll. Divide the veg between the 2 pieces of paper and top with the rosemary sprigs. Lay the haddock fillets on top.

  • 4.

    Lift the long ends of the paper up to meet in the middle, then fold down to make a pleat. Tuck the short ends under the parcel to seal it. Place the parcels on a baking tray and slide into the oven for 12 mins.

  • 5.

    While the haddock parcels cook, tip the couscous into a heatproof bowl. Pour over 300ml boiling water. Cover the bowl with a plate and set aside to soak. The couscous will absorb all the water and become tender and fluffy.

  • 6.

    Carefully unwrap the haddock parcels and check the haddock is cooked – it will be opaque and flake easily when pressed with a fork. If it’s not quite done, reseal the parcels and return to the oven for another 2-4 mins. Fluff the couscous, drain off any excess water, and divide the couscous between 2 plates. Top with the fish and veg and serve with handfuls of lamb’s lettuce and wedges of the zested lemon on the side.
