Spoil your loved one the Valentines with beautiful Salmon

This is a beautifull and delicately flavoured meal that couldn't be easier because the freshly frozen fish is straight from the freezer!

Ingredients

  • 2 x frozen salmon fillets
  • Half  of one garlic clove
  • 2 slices of lemon
  • 2 sprigs of fresh dill
  • A  dab of butter
  • 2 x single servings of frozen cooked rice
  • Tartar  sauce
  • 2 x servings of frozen Petit Pois
  • 1 x teaspoon of olive  oil
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Method

Defrost your frozen salmon fillets and your rice (click here for the best and safest way to defrost frozen fish). Chop your half clove of garlic into thin slices and place on top of the salmon fillets. Cut two slices of lemon and place one on each fillet.

Grease one side of a square of aluminium kitchen foil with the butter and place the frozen fish fillets on top. Roll the foil over the frozen fish so that each  fillet is completely covered and scrunch up the join so that the package is airtight. Place the fillets in an oven dish and place in preheated oven, 180 degrees Centigrade / no.6 gas for about 20 minutes.  

Place rice in a small oven dish and put in the oven with the salmon fillets after 15 minutes. This will heat the rice in the 5 minutes  remaining cooking time for the salmon.

Place two servings of frozen peas in a saucepan and bring to the boil for a couple of minutes.

Place two tablespoons of Tartar sauce in a small saucepan and gently stir in a dessert spoon of water and heat through, stirring, without boiling to achieve a single cream like  consistency.

Arrange the fish, rice and peas on a plate and  drizzle the sauce over the fish. Place the sprig of dill on the fillet and replace your cooked lemon with a fresh slice. Season to taste.
