Chopped parsley
2 tbsp pine nuts

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C, or gas mark 4. Lightly spray two pieces of foil with oil.
  2. Place one piece of salmon in the centre of one foil. Squeeze over half the lime juice, and sprinkle over some of the grated zest, and lemongrass if you’re using it. Sprinkle over the parsley and season with black pepper. Repeat the process with the other piece of salmon and scrunch up the top of the foil to make a parcel. Place in the oven and cook for 15 minutes.
  3. Remove from the oven and open the foil parcel. Sprinkle over the pine nuts and return to the oven to brown the pine nuts and finish cooking the fish, this should take about five more minutes.
  4. Serve with new potatoes and steamed broccoli or green beans, pouring over any cooking liquid from the parcel over the salmon

For a variation, add some grated ginger root to the salmon parcel and serve with basmati rice cooked in coconut milk.
