- Roll out pastry to a 35cm x 40cm (14in x 16in) rectangle. Cut into four.
- Place citrus rind in the middle of each piece of pastry. Top with cheese, season and place fish skinned side up on top.
- Brush the edge of the pastry with milk or egg.
- Fold over the pastry, sealing edges to form a parcel.
- Turn over and place the parcels, sealed edges down, onto on a greased baking tray. Make a small cut into the pastry to allow steam to escape.
