Scrumptious salmon parcels

These are quick, tasty and a great way of getting your vegetables and Omega 3. You can use a variety of vegetables (such as peppers, carrots, green beans, onions, tender stem broccoli or courgettes), but the best are those that are in season at the time of cooking. I served these parcels with new potatoes, but rice, quinoa or noodles could work too.

The only way you’ll get me to eat salmon!

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 Salmon fillets (skin removed)
  • Thumb-sized piece of ginger (grated)
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1 Small red onion (very thinly sliced)
  • Selection of vegetables thinly sliced
  • Drizzle of honey
The more ginger the better. Only add a little honey because otherwise it is too sweet.

METHOD

  1. Preheat your oven to Gas Mark 6. Line a baking tray with 2 large pieces of foil (enough to create a small parcel that’s not too tight)
  2. Pile the cut veg in the centre of the foil and lay the salmon on top.
  3. Rub the grated ginger over the top of the salmon then pop a nugget of butter on top of each fillet.
  4. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over the honey
  5. Close the foil together to form a parcel (like in the picture below).
  6. Cook for 25 minutes.
  7. Carefully open the parcel – (hot steam releases from inside so be careful!).
  8. Serve with your side of choice and drizzle with the parcel juices!

I hope you enjoy this recipe!
