Thai Salmon Parcels Recipes

Steps:

• Mix together lime zest through cilantro.
• Lay out 1 sheet of filo and brush with 1/2 Tbs butter.
• Lay 2nd sheet on top and brush with more butter.
• Lay a salmon fillet 2-3 inches from short side of phyllo, season to taste with salt and pepper and put half of lime mixture on top.
• Fold short end of phyllo over salmon, and then fold in the 2 long sides.
• Fold the salmon over twice more, and cut off the remaining pastry.
• Do the same with the other fillet.
• Put the parcels on a greased baking sheet and brush with any remaining butter.
• Bake at 325° 20-25 minutes until brown and crispy.

Steps:

• KIDS: The writing in bold is for you. ADULTS: The rest is for you. Make the sauce and marinade. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy, honey, garlic and mirin and set aside.
• Cut out some squares of foil. Using scissors, cut out 4 squares of foil, each about 30cm square. Brush each piece of foil with a little oil and bring the edges of the foil up a little.
• Fill your parcels. Place a couple of broccoli stems on each one, then sit a salmon fillet on top and scatter over the ginger.
• Spoon over the sauce. Spoon the sauce over each salmon fillet and drizzle with a little sesame oil, if you like.
• Close the parcels. Fold over the edges of the foil together to seal and place the parcels on a baking sheet. Can be prepared up to 1 day ahead.
• Cook the parcels. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Get your child to place the parcels in the oven for 15-20 mins, but ensure an adult removes them, then leave to stand for a few mins. Serve each parcel on a plate and let each person open it themselves. Serve with spring onions and sesame seeds for scattering over, and some rice on the side.
