120g piece of boneless, skinless salmon
1 tablespoon salsa
3 basil leaves
5 stalks asparagus
1 medium tomato
1/4 red onion
Squeeze balsamic glaze

Place the salmon on a piece of baking parchment top with three basil leaves and the salsa. Fold the paper to make a parcel. You can do this several hours in advance or just before you want to serve it.

Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Bake salmon for 8 minutes. In the meantime steam the asparagus in a little water in the microwave and chop the tomato and onion to make a salad.
Unwrap the salmon and serve. Drizzle some balsamic glaze over the fish.

This is a firm favourite in our home and I serve it with mashed potato for the non dieters.

This looks lovely... And good idea about mash for the non-dieters!

How do you make your salsa by the way? Thanks

I just use a bought one but you could finely chop some tomato, onion, coriander and a squeeze of lime juice.

Thanks Pilchards, I'll give it a go.

Shop bought salsa is a really useful addition to a faster's fridge - check the labels though, they vary a lot in sugar content as well as calories.

Made this tonight and it was very tasty!
