Salmon and Leek Parcel : An Easy Low Carb/Keto Meal


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.

Ingredients
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)
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.

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 🐟

A local restaurant here makes a salmon and leek pie - just adds a few more calories with the filo pastry!

Jenn Jilks said...

Now, there is a good idea!
