Bream with Potatoes & Chard

Whilst I was festivalling in Clapham, B was earning husband points by organising and cooking dinner for us both.  We were feeling a bit guilty about our Wimbledon picnic blowout, so I'd left strict instructions to make something healthy and virtuous.

B excelled himself by buying some lovely fresh fillets of wild black bream, and using up our veg box odds and ends for accompaniments.


I love cooking fish in paper parcels - I think it keeps all the delicate flavours locked in.  B sliced some potatoes thinly, then put the fish fillets on top, with a generous coating of lime juice, chopped parsley and garlic.  Some chopped swiss chard and spring onion went on top, and the whole thing got tied up neatly with string and given 30 minutes in the oven.  Fabulous - and very virtuous.
