Salmon Parcels

The essentials

Ingredients

• 4 pieces of salmon (approx 90g each)
• Handful of baby/ cherry tomatoes
• Handful of olives
• 2 Leeks
• 1 Red pepper
• Handful of fresh basil
• Salt and pepper

Serves 4 people

 

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°

Use some tin foil to make a parcel shape and place the salmon inside.

Roughly chop up the tomatoes, olives, leeks and peppers and put inside the parcel.

Rip up some basil and place inside the parcel. Grind some salt and pepper to taste.

Place in the oven for 12 minutes.

 

A little bit extra:

 

This is one of the easiest things you can make! Pop it in the oven while you go for a shower, or get ready for work and there you have the quickest, healthiest takeaway lunch ever!

We love this with our coconut quinoa as a quick mid-week dinner. Even better is you can take the leftovers for lunch the next day.

Salmon is a great source of protein for those who don’t like to eat a lot of meat (and for those who do!). Salmon is also full of omega 3 fatty acids which have been found to help prevent a whole host of diseases and illnesses such as Alzheimer’s, depression and some forms of cancer.
