Vibrant, spicy, fresh, and light, these delicious Thai fish and rice parcels can be whipped up in minutes and then popped in the oven for half an hour to cook.

I used ready-made Thai curry paste for convenience as a base, mixed this with coconut milk, and then added ginger, garlic, lemongrass, fish sauce, fresh coriander, kaffir lime leaves, and fresh lime, and a pinch of sugar. I made some sturdy foil parcels, filled in a little jasmine rice in the bottom, spooned on some of that gorgeous sauce, then topped with a piece of fish which fish had dipped into the sauce, wrapped up the parcel, and finished it off in the oven.

We served this with some wok-fried greens, and it was the perfect quick, delicious, nutritious family meal. I used tilapia because it’s what I had at home, but any white fish or salmon would work beautifully.
