👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Mix the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper and paprika and spread the mixture over the fish pieces.
  3. 3
    Place each piece on a square of foil.

  4. 4
    Arrange the tomatoes, olives and garlic around each piece.
  5. 5
    Fold the foil over each piece into a sealed packet.

    💡A fillet is done when the flesh is opaque even in the thickest part and flakes when pressed with a fork; a few more minutes in the oven and it dries out.
  7. 7
    Open the packets and roast 5 more minutes, to brown.
