Thai Salmon Filo Parcels Recipes

SALMON FILO PARCELS WITH THAI BUTTER

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix half the butter with the curry paste, lime zest and coriander. Season, wrap in cling film and shape into a log. Chill in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up.
• Melt the remaining butter in a small pan over a low heat. Trim the filo to rectangles about 18 x 26cm. Brush 1 rectangle with a little butter. Top with another rectangle, brush again with butter and finish with a third filo rectangle. Repeat until you have 4 piles of filo pastry.
• Place a salmon fillet, skinned-side down, in the centre of each filo pile. Cut the Thai butter into discs and put 2 along each fillet. Bring up 2 edges of pastry over the salmon to enclose. Brush the open ends with butter, and fold up and over to seal. Put on a baking sheet and brush with butter.
• Open-freeze for 2 hours until solid, then store in a food bag, label and freeze for up to 2 months.
• To cook, preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6 and put in a baking sheet to heat up. Once hot, put the frozen parcels on the sheet and cook for 25 minutes, until golden. Serve with stir-fried vegetables.

THAI SALMON IN FOIL

To make the sauce, whisk together chili sauce, soy sauce, garlic, fish sauce, ginger, lime juice and Sriracha in a small bowl; set aside. Place salmon onto prepared baking sheet and fold up all 4 sides of the foil. Spoon the chili sauce mixture over the salmon. Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon, covering completely and sealing the packet closed. Place into oven and bake until cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with peanuts and cilantro, if desired.
