A perfect light lunch

It is an exciting experience to go shopping for nice fresh food
at the local fish market and farm stall!
This is what I did yesterday! I came back home with a freshly caught
red snapper, organic lemons, a head of crispy frisee salad, grapefruit,
bloody orange and red sweet strawberries!
These are the perfect ingredients for a light Sunday lunch!

a big piece of red snapper fillet serving 4 people
1 organic lemon

Put fish fillet on a big piece of parchment paper.
Season with salt, pepper and oil, then cover with lemon rounds,
ginger and garlic slices, fennel green sprigs and parsley.
Close the parchment paper forming a parcel and bake in oven at 375 F
