A simple salmon dish, parcelled up to seal in the flavours. With creamy mascarpone and fresh leeks, this low carb/keto-friendly fish supper is easy and rich in omega-3.
Serves Two
250g leeks (about 3 small ones), thinly sliced
85g mascarpone cheese
1 tbsp chopped dill, plus 1 tsp
2 skinless salmon fillets
½ lemon, grated zest of 1/4, plus a good squeeze of juice
2-3 tsp capers
spinach wilted, to serve (optional)
85g mascarpone cheese
1 tbsp chopped dill, plus 1 tsp
2 skinless salmon fillets
½ lemon, grated zest of 1/4, plus a good squeeze of juice
2-3 tsp capers
spinach wilted, to serve (optional)
Method
1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place two sheets of baking parchment (large enough to wrap up each salmon fillet) on your work surface.2. Put the leeks in a pan with 6 tbsp water, cover and bring to the boil. Cook for 5 mins until the water has been absorbed and the leeks are almost tender. Stir in the mascarpone, 1 tbsp dill and some seasoning.
3. Spoon half the creamy leeks into the middle of one sheet of parchment and place a salmon fillet on top, then repeat to make a second parcel. Sprinkle over the lemon zest with a squeeze of juice, then scatter over the capers and the remaining 1 tsp dill.
4. Bring the parchment up over the fish and join the two edges together by folding them over several times down the middle. Do the same with the ends and place the parcels, spaced apart, on a baking sheet.
5. Bake for 12-15 mins, depending on how well done you like your fish, then carefully tear open the parcel. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over and wilted spinach, if you like.

Firstly, sorry I've been absent of late. Life steps in and interrupts things at times. :)
I had a salmon fillet for my lunch a couple of days ago...yummy!
Take good care you two! :)
...I enjoy salmon, but have never had leeks.
Gracias por la receta. Te mando un beso.
I love salmons and leeks. The yellow trumpets fanfare the arrival of spring.
Such a healthful and delicious meal!
Sounds very nice indeed.
Leeks will be very sweet in this recipe. Nice weekend to you.
That would be most delicious indeed. My mouth is watering, and a perfect recipe for an air fryer.
I like salmon and leeks and this looks a good, quick recipe.
Sounds like a delicious Salmon recipe.
Take care, have a great weekend.
Great recipe, my friend! I love salmon, as it is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids ... I have to increase HDL cholesterol levels 🐟
I've never made salmon this way. It looks easy and good!
This sounds very yummy! TFS, Valerie
I will have to show to hubby and see what he thinks :)
Have a great weekend!
Mmmm, salmon
I'm making salmon and Bok Choy tonight but this sounds good too.
A local restaurant here makes a salmon and leek pie - just adds a few more calories with the filo pastry!
Now, there is a good idea!
It looks delicious.
