LUCY'S BAKED FISH IN FOIL
My friend, Lucy and I, describe ourselves as fishing widows. It can be challenging to come up with new ways to prepare fish, but Lucy recently came up with this. My family fell in love with it, so I thought I should share it.

Steps:
- Make 2-3 deep slashes on both sides of the fish and lay out a double layer of foil.
- Combine coconut cream, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, chili powder and lemon juice.
- Spread 1/3 of the coconut cream mixture on the foil and lay the (cleaned) fish on top of the coconut cream mixture.
- Spread some of the coconut cream mixture inside the cavity of the fish and pour the rest of the coconut cream mixture over the fish and seal parcel making sure there is no air around the fish.
- Bake at 180°C for 12- 15 minutes per 500 grams or until the fish flakes at the thickest part- only way to tell is to open the package every now and then.

- Discard the head, tail and fins; then peel away skin.
- Flake the fish onto a clean piece of foil and pour any cooking juices over the flesh.

SIMPLE BAKED FISH IN FOIL WW
This is so simple, I can't believe I couldn't find it anywhere on zaar. The onion keeps the fish from drying out and gives a lovely mild flavor. We especially like Telipia, but any white fish can be used, as well as any of your favorite fish seasonings. We like lemon pepper or Dominant One (an all seasoning mix from hubby's Indiana hometown spice factory www.marionkay.com). Fresh fish from a camping trip is good also, in fact this method is great for outdoors, as it can be cooked on the grill for 20 min, clean up is a snap, just toss the foil.

FISH IN FOIL
The 'no smell' fish recipe that is the ONLY one I make for my family (I hate fish, they LOVE it!). Take foil packets to table for service, and keep them around for the discarding of bones and skin. Then when dinner's done, haul those babies to the outside trash.
