Citrus Steamed Barramundi with Potatoes

A good dish, and a simple – with the one caveat that you really, REALLY must season the potatoes very well. They absorb a terrific amount and really need it.
Original recipe says foil parcel lined with greaseproof paper – I assume this is so that the potatoes won’t stick to the foil but really we found it was fine just with the foil. First, peel, slice and boil some potatoes so that they’re reasonably tender. Then prep and grease the foil the dish will be baking in. Layer the potatoes on the bottom (seasoning very well). Then lay your barramundi fillets (or whatever white fish you have to hand) on top, and put in some lemon balm, or mint, or even basil - or a combo – knock yourself out. Top with segmented (peeled) citrus slices – orange and lemon in this case I think. Finally, add your beans (we believe these just went on raw, and cooked very nicely in there). Wrap up nicely and cook in manner of your choice – oven or barbie.  Dish out at table. You can also do these in individual portions, of course. We went for family style.
