Ingredients

  • For the Fish filo parcel and beans:

  • olive oil
    320 g baby spinach
    1 bunch of dill (20g)
    4 sheets of filo pastry
    4 x 130g trout or salmon fillets, skin off, pin-boned, from sustainable sources
    2 cloves of garlic
    500 g ripe cherry tomatoes
    2 x 400g tins of cannellini beans
    red wine vinegar
    2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
    4 heaped tablespoons plain yogourt
    1 lemon
  • Directions

    • Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4. Put a large shallow
      casserole pan on a medium-high heat with a spritz of olive
      oil, the spinach and most of the dill, stalks and all, reserving a
      few fronds for garnish. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the excess
      moisture has evaporated, stirring occasionally. Remove to a
      board, finely chop and season to perfection with sea salt and
      black pepper.

      Lay out 2 sheets of overlapping filo on a clean work surface
      with the short ends facing you. Spritz with olive oil, then put
      the other 2 sheets on top and spritz again. Sit 2 trout fillets
      facing each other in the middle at the bottom, so the thinner
      ends of the fillets overlap, pile the spinach mixture on top in
      an even layer, then sit the remaining fillets on top. Fold in the
      sides of the filo, then roll it up into a parcel. Place on an oilspritzed baking tray, generously spritz with oil and cook for 30
      minutes, or until golden and cooked through.

      Meanwhile, wipe out the pan. Spritz it with oil, then peel, finely
      chop and add the garlic. Halve and add the tomatoes, and
      cook on a medium heat for 5 minutes, or until softened. Pour
      in the beans, juice and all, and simmer for another 5 minutes,
      or until thickened, then add ½ a tablespoon of red wine
      vinegar and season to perfection.

      Stir the Dijon through the yoghurt, and serve it all together,
      with lemon wedges on the side and the reserved dill
      scattered over the top.
