Salmon and Spinach Parcels
Salmon and Spinach Parcels. A delicious way to change it up and enjoy your salmon around a crispy reduced-fat puff pastry shell.
Visiting my mum is always a treat. She cooks and bakes and spoils us with so.much.food. We don’t walk out of there. We roll. So I always mentally prepare myself to save some space during the day for her buffet dinners. Yep. Or I get in trouble. Oh yeah, I’m sure I’m still 10 years old in her eyes, as my children are still babies to me.
Walking in to her house on this day was absolutley incredible. She found a recipe somewhere in a magazine, remembered parts of it, and created this beautiful meal! So, as you can imagine, the aromas floating around as soon as we walked through the door knocked us over into another twilight zone.
The mixture of garlic, lemon and fish, mixed with the mouth-watering wafts of pastry. I’m still floored.
And as I usually do, I crowded around her bench tops, picking off pieces of whatever I could (while she wasn’t looking) to taste test. Don’t judge. I know you do it to. *wink wink*
Well. Slap me sideways and Oh Em Gee.
Armed with my new baby, my Canon 6D and of course the camera’s baby (my special lens) I morphed like a power ranger and leaped into food photographer mode. Ripping open blinds, cutting open lemon wedges and raiding her cupboards for ANYTHING I could find.
All with the speed superman woud be proud of. Like, the food was going to grow egs and run off into the distance. No joke.
How could I not though? Just LOOK at this masterpiece?
I love my mum. You will too after trying this recipe out, because she’s allowing me to share her amazingness with you guys!
