Salmon microwave parcels


Really quick, really easy and very little clearing up. Just put salmon fillets and a selection of finely chopped vegetables in a parchment or microwave bag, throw in some seasonings and zap in the microwave for five minutes. Leave to stand while your new potatoes finish cooking, then open up and eat. I had some parchment bags that I brought back from Canada. You can also buy microwave steam bags. Or you could fold up a sheet of parchment, but it might split open.


Ingredients for one person.
About 175 - 200g salmon fillets, cut into 2 pieces.
About half a courgette, finely chopped 
1 large portobello mushroom or a couple of smaller mushrooms 
1 large spring onion finely chopped 
1 small clove garlic crushed 
About a quarter of a large yellow pepper, finely chopped 
A dash of white wine vinegar 
A dash of sesame oil
1 tsp powdered teriyaki seasoning (you could try different seasonings according to what you like) 
Salt and pepper 
Season the salmon with salt and pepper, then throw all the ingredients in the bag, fold it over to seal and give it a little shake to distribute everything around.
Put on a microwave safe plate with the fold underneath to stop it opening up and cook on full power for 5 minutes, giving it another little shake half way through.
Remove from the microwave and leave to stand for about 5 minutes, while you finish off cooking your spuds. Toss the spuds in some butter, tip the contents of the bag onto the plate with the spuds. There will be a nice little sauce in the bag.

The fish and veg will make a delicious sauce whilst it cooks - make sure you tip it all out on the plate!
Finish boiling the potatoes whilst the fish rests in its parcel
