Chinese-style salmon parcels

One of your '2 a week' fish portions ready in just 20 minutes.

Preparation time:
5 minutes
Cooking time:
15 minutes
Total time:
20 minutes 20 minutes
Serves:
 4

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
  • 4 Waitrose Organic Scottish Salmon Fillets, skinned
  • 1.5cm piece fresh root ginger, peeled and shredded
  • 235g pack pak choi, sliced
  • 100g Chantenay carrots, halved lengthways
  • 100g chestnut mushrooms, sliced
  • 120g sachet Blue Dragon Sweet Soy & Roasted Red Chilli Stir Fry Sauce

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200c, gas mark 6. Brush 4 large squares of baking parchment with some of the oil and place a salmon fillet in the middle of each one.
  2. Toss together the ginger, pak choi, carrots and mushrooms with the stir-fry sauce and the remaining oil. Arrange over the salmon and fold in the baking parchment to make loose parcels. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes until the salmon is cooked through. Open the parcels and serve with steamed Jasmine rice.

Cook's tips

You can substitute 2 tbsp soy sauce and a chopped red chilli instead of the stir-fry sauce for an even simpler alternative.

I agree with both of you; this recipe is amazing! I have used it many times! Although I am only 13, I have cooked this recipe for family dinners, rather than them ordering a takeaway, as the takeaway takes just as long, substituting it for a more tastier and healthier meal. I am going to use this recipe at school for my Food.Tech Lesson, making a (what I think) high-energy dish. I have no downsides to this recipe and I am passing it round my family for them to use in the future!! :)

Michelle Coates - Saturday 26th March 2011 I agree with Brian that this is a brilliant recipe, so quick, so easy and extremely nutritious. We have never do a parchment parcel before but it didn't cause problems and the flavours of the combined salmon and vegetables were just so alive. Do give it a go - you won't regret it!

This is absolutely fantastic - why is it in the everyday section - it would grace any dinner party. Very easy but superb flavour and the wine recommendation is spot on.
