Baked Salmon and Asparagus Foil Parcel

Last night I made such an incredible, tasty, quick and easy dinner (my usual meal for one saga.....) I just had to share it with you all. 

What you will need:

- Salmon (or your preferred fish)

- Asparagus

- Black Olives

- Lemon (thinly sliced)

- 2 Garlic Cloves (minced)

- Salt and Pepper

- Olive Oil

- Rosemary

- Aluminium Foil

Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees.

Holding your asparagus spears in your hands, bend them until they naturally snap at the point separating the tender top part and the tough bottom part.

Tear a generous piece of foil from the aluminium foil roll and fold in half, placing it in the middle of your baking tray. 

Curl the edges of the foil to form a square just large enough to lay your asparagus in.

Drizzle some olive oil over your asparagus spears once they are in the tin foil. 

Mince up a clove of garlic and sprinkle it over the asparagus, seasoning with salt and pepper.

Slice the sides off of some black olives - removing the pips- and scatter them on top and around the asparagus.

Baste your fish in some olive oil and lay on top of the bed of asparagus.

Crush and mince your second garlic clove, scattering it on top of the fish. Season with salt and pepper.

Thinly slice your lemon and layer on top of the fish as a garnishing. Squeeze your desired amount of left over lemon over the fish to add some more flavor. 

Finally, put some sprigs of rosemary of the fish and wrap it all up in the foil to make a parcel.

Place your baking tray with the parcel into the oven for 15 minutes (it won't take long for the fish to cook in the foil). 

Remove and carefully unwrap your parcel to enjoy it! I eat straight out of the foil but you can remove it and put it onto a plate if you want to.

Bon appétit!

Jadie's 15 Minute Meal | Steak and Humas Tortilla's Infused With Spicy Jalapeno's and Other Crunchy Greens

This is such a wonderful meal whether cooking just for yourself or for a dinner party

It is literally effortless - quick (15 mins) and probably one of the tastiest yet simplest dishes I know. 

Here are the ingredients that you will need in order to make this dish: 

• Tortilla Wraps
• Steak
• Light Soya Sauce 
• Terriyaki Sauce
• Rice Wine Vinegar
• Cucumber (finely sliced)
• Spring Onions (finely sliced)
• Jalapeno Chillies (Diced)
• Humus

 Step One:

 Combine your light soya sauce, terriyaki sauce and rice wine vinegar into a bowl. Cut your steaks into strips and coat them in this marinade for as long as possible. 

It is hard to say how much of each sauce you need as it completely depends on how many people you're cooking for etc. Just make the marinade to your liking - I never measure things if I can help it anyway! I just lug sauces and spices into my dishes and hope for the best! It makes it interesting and fun.  

 Step Two:

Thinly slice your cucumbers and spring onions. Dice your jalapenos. Set these ingredients aside to put onto your tortilla wrap later.

  Step Three:

 Spread humus onto your tortilla wrap with the back of a large spoon. Using the back of the spoon makes it easier to spread out. 

Once the humus is on, scatter on the cucumber and spring onion sticks in the middle of the wrap and sprinkle the diced jalapenos on top.

*Optional: Should you wish the warm up your tortilla before hand then place it in a large, dry pan on low heat for one minute on each side. 

  Step Four:

Cook your steak to your liking - this should take no more than five minutes.

  Step Five:

 Place a few strips of steak on top of the greens in the middle of your tortilla, roll your wrap up making sure to tightly tuck one end of the wrap into the middle. 

There you have it. The perfect recipe when cooking for one, when cooking for a dinner party; when cooking for any occasion. 

Enjoy it.
