Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp low-salt soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 garlic clove finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp mirin (optional)
  • Sunflower oil (for brushing)
  • 300 grams long-stem broccoli
  • 4 salmon fillets (100g each)
  • small piece of ginger sliced into matchsticks
  • Sesame oil (optional)
  • Sliced spring onions,
  • toasted sesame seeds
  • cooked rice (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade

  • Start by mixing the sauce.
    Combine the soy sauce, honey, finely chopped garlic, and mirin (if using) in a small bowl.
    Stir well and set the mixture aside.

Prep the Foil

  • Cut four squares of foil, roughly 30cm each.
    Brush each piece lightly with sunflower oil.
    Make sure to raise the edges slightly to prevent any liquid from spilling out when you add the ingredients.

Assemble the Parcels

  • Lay a few broccoli stems in the center of each foil square.
    Place a salmon fillet on top of the broccoli.
    Scatter the ginger matchsticks over the salmon.

Add the Sauce

  • Spoon the soy-honey marinade evenly over the salmon fillets.
    If you want an extra layer of flavor, drizzle a little sesame oil on top.

Seal the Parcels

  • Fold up the edges of the foil, sealing each parcel securely.
    Place the parcels onto a baking tray.
    You can even prepare these a day in advance and store them in the fridge until you're ready to cook.

Bake and Serve

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/gas mark 6).
    Bake the parcels for 15–20 minutes.
    Once done, let them sit for a few minutes before serving.
    For a fun touch, serve each parcel on a plate and let everyone open their own at the table.
    Serve with spring onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a side of rice.
    Enjoy!
