Red snapper en papillote with lemongrass, coriander and a mitzuna salad

21 ingredients 30 min + 10 min Serves 4 openrecipes

A really fresh, summery recipe that could easily be adapted for the barbecue. Cooking the fish in foil intensifies the flavour and, if you can’t get hold of red snapper, any firm, white fish will work well.
