Add a few King Prawns and some other bits and bobs with lime zest and a squeeze of the juice along with a knob of butter. Done and ready to eat in 20 minutes.

Now that can't be bad, can it?

Lay the salmon and prawns on the foil along with the sliced ingredients - dividing them between the two parcels.

Season with a little salt and some black pepper.

Add a knob of butter to each and a slice of lime. Grate over the zest plus a squeeze of lime juice to each parcel.

Pull the sides of the foil up around the salmon to create a parcel - don't do it too tightly though - you want to allow room for the salmon to steam away nicely.

Pop both parcels onto a baking sheet and bake on the middle shelf for 15 to 20 minutes; the exact timing will depend on the thickness of your salmon fillets).

Carefully open the parcel to have a check - using a fork the fish should be just starting to flake and the prawns should have turned nice and pink.

Serve with some boiled rice with a good drizzle of Ketjap Manis;(Indonesian sweet soy sauce) stirred through.

Available in any good supermarket and is as cheap as chips. 😉

Ingredients

Ingredients plus 2 large pieces of kitchen foil

• 2 nice salmon fillets - skinless and boneless
• a handful of raw King prawns (shrimp)
• 1 red bell pepper - de-seeded and thinly sliced

Instructions

Pre-heat your oven to 200°C/400°F or Gas 6

3. Season with a little salt and black pepper. Add a knob of butter to each and a slice of lime. Grate over the zest and add a good squeeze of lime juice to each parcel.
4. Pull the sides of the foil up around the salmon to create a parcel - don't do it too tightly though - you want to allow room for the salmon to steam.
5. Pop both parcels onto a baking sheet and bake on the middle shelf for 15 to 20 minutes (exact timing will depend on the thickness of your salmon fillets).
6. Carefully open the parcel to have a check - using a fork the fish should be just starting to flake and the prawns should have turned nice and pink.
7. Serve with some boiled rice with a drizzle of sweet soy sauce stirred through.
