Honey Soy Salmon Parcels

I love this recipe because it is so simple and quick to make. It tastes amazing and it's also really healthy and great if you're looking for a light, meat free meal.

What you will need:

serves four

Four pieces of salmon, skin off, about 100 grams each
2 cups of fresh or frozen beans
1 cup of fresh or frozen peas
2 teaspoons of honey
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
Olive oil
1 small finger of ginger, peeled and finely chopped (optional)
Rice or noodles to serve (optional)

What to do:

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

2. On an oven tray, lay four pieces of aluminium foil approximately               
    20cm by 20cm. Lightly grease each piece of foil with some oil 
    using a pastry brush. Gently turn up the edges of each piece of 
    foil so that your sauce will not run over when you pour it on. 

3. If using fresh beans, top and tail them. If using frozen vegetables
    put the beans and peas in a colander and run some warm water 
    over them in the sink, to defrost them. Drain well of excess 
    water. Divide the vegetables evenly between the sheets (place in  
    the middle). Carefully place the fish pieces on top of the 
    vegetables, skin side down.

4. In a small bowl, mix the honey and soy sauce with a spoon until 
    the honey is dissolved. Drizzle this over the fish and vegetables.
    Sprinkle some ginger over the top of the fish (this is optional).

5. Now close the salmon parcels, bringing the left and right sides of 
    the foil together over the fish. Crimp together so it will not fall 
    apart. Fold up the remaining sides into the middle so that the 
    sauce will not run out and the steam will be trapped inside.

6. Place into the oven on a tray and cook for 25 minutes. 
    Once cooked, remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly    
    before opening (watch out for steam). Serve to the table in
    parcels. Serve with cooked rice or noodles (optional) and enjoy.

Spaghetti Nests

Image
  This is really a serving idea, rather than a recipe, but it's an excellent way to use up extra pasta - even if said pasta is a bit dried up and stuck together. Just refresh already cooked pasta in some boiling water for a minute then drain. What you will need: Serves 4 (3 nests each, 12 in all) 300g dry spaghetti, cooked and drained 750g jar of prepared spaghetti sauce 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese 1 cup grated mozzarella Fresh basil, finely chopped 12 pieces of non-stick baking paper, measuring  30cm by 30cm What to do: 1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.    2. Prepare the pasta nests. Arrange all the ingredients on the bench. 3. Place a rough handful of pasta into the middle of one sheet of      baking paper. Generously spoon over some of the prepared pasta     sauce, sprinkle it with parmesan cheese, mozzarella and basil.  Now bring the corners of the baking paper together, making sure        that none of the filling
