Ingredients
Fish in Parchment
Put couscous in a bowl and pour boiling vegetable broth over it. Allow to soak.
Peel carrots. Peel the mango and cut into long strips around the pit. Add to couscous, season with salt and pepper and stir in the oil.
Spread couscous evenly over 2 large sheets of parchment paper.
Rinse fish fillets, pat dry and season with salt and pepper. Place each fish on top of a parchment sheet with couscous mixture.
Wrap parchment around fish and tie with kitchen twine. Place packets on a baking sheet.
Bake on bottom rack of preheated oven at 180°C (fan 160°C, gas: mark 2-3) (approximately 350°F) and cook for about 15 minutes (the fish is ready when the parchment puffs up).
Place the packets on a serving plate and carefully cut open at the table with kitchen shears.
