Salmon and herb filo parcels with roast tomatoes
Anything encased in pastry is going to taste amazing - this herby succulent salmon is no exception.
Ingredients (9)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon each chopped basil, mint and flat-leaf parsley leaves
- Grated zest of 1 lemon
- 4 sheets filo pastry
- Olive oil spray
- 4 x 180g skinless salmon fillets, pin-boned
- 500g vine-ripened cherry tomatoes
- 200g green beans, trimmed
Method
-
1.Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
-
2.Combine oil, garlic, herbs, lemon zest and some salt and pepper in a bowl.
-
3.Lay 1 sheet of filo pastry on a board with one of the short sides facing you (keep the remaining filo sheets covered with a damp tea towel while you work).
-
4.Lightly spray the filo sheet with oil, then place a salmon fillet at the end nearest to you, leaving a 3cm border.
-
5.Spread a little herb mixture over the fish, then fold in the edges of the pastry and roll up the salmon away from you to enclose. Place the parcel seam-side down on the tray, then repeat to make 4 parcels. Spray the tops with a little more oil. Bake for 12 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the fish is cooked through. Place the tomatoes on another tray and bake for the final 5 minutes of the fish cooking time until just softened.
-
6.Meanwhile, blanch the beans in boiling water for 3 minutes until tender. Drain.
-
7.Divide the salmon parcels among plates, and serve with the roasted tomatoes and beans.
