Ingredients

  • 125 g Cooked rice & quinoa
  • 80 g Asparagus
  • 80 g Cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • 1 Fillet of salmon
  • 5 King prawns
  • 1 Lemon
  • 30 ml Water
  • 5 g Parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C Fan.
  • Lay out a large sheet of tin foil, then lay a piece of baking paper over the top.
  • Add the cooked rice & quinoa almost in the middle, but slightly closer to you.
  • Lay over the asparagus, cherry tomatoes, salmon, and king prawns.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then lay two ‘half-moon’ slices of lemon over the top of the salmon.
  • Fold the foil and baking paper over to cover the salmon, then fold the edges over to create a giant ‘Cornish pastie’. Leave some space between the food and the folded edges so that it can puff up when it steams.
  • Before you completely seal it, pour in the water, this will help it steam.
  • Place it in the oven for 15 minutes. Once cooked, cut it open and sprinkle over the chopped parsley and add the zest of ½ a lemon. Be careful as you open it as there will be a lot of steam.
