Preparation

Step 1

STEP 1 Preheat the oven to 40p degrees F. Slice the beans into thin strips. Halve the pepper lengthwise and cut into thin strips. Grate the ginger. Combine the beans, pepper, ginger, carrot, 1 tbsp cilantro and the lime zest in a bowl. Add 1/2cup coconut milk and mix together.
STEP 2 Cut a large square of parchment paper, fold in half, then open. Spray with cooking spray. Place 1 fillet on one half of the paper. Arrange 1/4 of the vegetable mixture on top. Sprinkle with salt (in moderation) and pepper and drizzle over a little of the liquid remaining in the bowl. Fold the paper over the fish and vegetables and crimp edges together securely to create a package. Repeat with remaining fish and vegetables. Transfer packages to a baking sheet and bake for about 15 min.
STEP 3 While fish cooks, microwave the rice according to package directions. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Add rice and remaining coconut milk and cook over medium-high heat until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 3 min. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tbsp lime juice, 2 tbsp chopped cilantro and salt (in moderation) and pepper. Taste and add more juice if desired.
STEP 4 Transfer the fish packets to 4 plates and fold open at the table. Serve with the rice.
