Golden filo-wrapped pesto salmon parcels - a flavorful meal for any time of the day.
Ingredients:
  • 36.40 gm olive oil
  • 20g butter
  • 1 leek, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 150g baby spinach
  • 8 sheets filo pastry
  • 4 (about 120g each) skinless salmon fillets
  • 80.00 gm Pesto Genovese
  • Mixed salad, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan forced. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. In a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and half the butter. Sauté leek and garlic until leek is soft and lightly golden for 3-4 minutes. Add spinach and cook until just wilted for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and drain any excess liquid.
  • Combine the oil and butter in a small dish and melt in the microwave for 20 seconds on high. Lay one filo sheet on a clean surface, brush with the oil mixture, add another sheet, fold in half crossways, and continue layering with the rest of the sheets and oil mixture.
  • Spread the leek and spinach mixture evenly on the pastry rectangles. Place a piece of salmon on top. Spoon 1 tablespoon of pesto over each salmon piece. Fold the long edges of the pastry together to seal, then tuck the ends to form a parcel. Transfer to the lined tray. Brush the pastry with the remaining oil mixture. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and puffed. Serve with mixed salad.
