Ingredients

  • 2 to 4 potatoes (about 454 g/1 lb), peeled and cut into slices about ½ cm thick
  • 1 small yellow onion, peeled and thinly sliced

2. Cut 4 pieces of aluminium foil about 50 cm in length.

3. Divide the potato slices, onions and frozen sole fillets evenly among the four pieces of aluminum foil. Add salt and pepper.

4. In a small bowl, mix the curry powder, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper and canola oil.

5. Spread the spice mixture and oil over the fillets.

6. Fold the aluminium foil over the sole to make 4 tightly sealed packets.

7. Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for about 25 minutes, until the fish is cooked and the potato slices are soft.
