- Pile the capers, olives and tomatoes on top. Mix the garlic into the oil and drizzle over each. Bring up the edges of the paper, and fold over each other to seal. Crease to secure. Place the parcels on a baking tray and bake for about 20 mins until just cooked through.
- To serve, drain the fish and transfer the fish and vegetables on to warm serving plates. Sprinkle with chopped dill and serve immediately accompanied with freshly cooked vegetables.
