Any fish is fantastic for this recipe.

Kahawai is good but remove the red bloodline.

Lay out some sheets of tin foil, one for each diner. Place slivers of butter over the base of the foil and lay thin slices of lemon on top. Now sprinkle salt and lemon pepper over one side of the fish and lay this seasoned side down on the lemon slices. You can use limes and "Janes" Lime pepper for a different flavour. Now sprinkle a little more salt and lemon pepper and lay a bunch of parsley including stalks on top. Add dill weed. Now a good squeeze of lemon juice and a wee drizzle of cold pressed virgin olive oil.

Fold up the parcels and place on suitable slide in the centre of the oven at 200c for 10 mins each side, more or less depending on the thickness of fish. Do not overcook.. less is best. Can leave to rest in sealed parcel while plating up. Carefully open and place fish on a bed of turmeric rice with peas, pouring the parcel juices over the top of the fish. Add some parsley sprigs or dill weed for decoration.
