  • 4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

    (6-8 oz each) salmon fillets,

    skinless and boneless (about 200g each)

  • Add water and stock powder to the pan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to combine all ingredients.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover and gently simmer for a further 12-15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through.
  • Remove from heat and stir through lemon juice and parsley. Set aside and let cool.
  • Preheat oven 410°F (210°C). Line a baking tray with baking/parchment paper.

  • Lay the salmon fillet on top of the rice mixture and brush the border/edges of the pastry with water.
  • Fold empty side of pastry over to envelope salmon, and seal the edges firmly with a fork. Transfer parcel to prepared baking sheet/tray and repeat the same steps with reamining pastry, rice mixture and salmon fillets until all parcels have been done.
