This easy dinner will be ready in 20 minutes flat and pump you full of healthy omega-3s.
Serves: 4
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:4 x 180g skinless salmon fillets
2 teaspoons Masterfoods thyme
Salt and pepper
8 baby carrots, peeled and halved
2 sticks celery, sliced finely
1 punnet cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup baby peas
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Lemon wedges and crusty bread, to serve
Method:Preheat oven to 180°C.
Place a salmon fillet on each of four large squares of non-stick baking paper.
Sprinkle with thyme, then season with salt and pepper.
Arrange the vegetables around the fish, then drizzle with olive oil.
Wrap up tightly, then bake for 12-15 minutes, until the salmon is just cooked.
Serve with crusty bread and lemon wedges.
Tips:- When sealing the paper, fold the long edge several times, then crimp the ends. This will lock in the moisture and flavour.
- 275mcg of omega-3 fatty acids is your daily requirement. This meal gives you that in spades!
- You can prepare this meal a couple of hours in advance, but be careful not to let it sit for more than four hours as the salt will cause the fish to cure.
