Hey lovely readers! Are you ready for Monday? I think this recipe is a good one to make for lunch or dinner ;-). I am trying to come back to my healthier eating habits as I slipped down from the previous week. You can hardly feel you are on the diet with this one! Anyways… check out the recipe below ;-).

A serving of honey salmon fillet accompanied by couscous and sliced avocado on a white plate.

 HONEY SALMON IN A POUCH adapted from Damn Delicious
(for single portion)

  • 2tbsp runny honey
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed and finely chopped
  • 1tsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (I like this one better)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 salmon fillet

1. first things first, make the honey glaze by mixing all ingredients (except salmon) together.

A bowl containing a honey glaze mixture with a green spoon resting inside, placed on a wooden surface.

2. Place the salmon fillet onto the baking paper or foil and drizzle the honey glaze on top.

A salmon fillet drizzled with honey glaze placed on baking paper, ready for cooking.

3. Close the baking sheet around the salmon and shape it into the pouch. It’s easer with foil, but with baking paper you would need a string to properly close the ends.

A salmon fillet wrapped in parchment paper, tied with twine, placed in a green baking dish on a wooden cutting board.

4. Bake the pouch in preheated 180C oven for 20min. Don’t overcook it!

5. Serve this salmon with rice or couscous together with some vegetables. I had mine with sliced avocado for lunch!
