Serves 2

Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 tsp olive oil
• Zest of half lemon (retain the zested lemon)
• ½ tsp coriander seeds, roughly crushed
• ¼ tsp fennel seeds, roughly crushed
• 1 small courgette, sliced
• 4 cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 small corn on the cob, kernels sliced off
• 1 small sweet potato (about 165g diced into 1cm pieces)
• 2 x 150g thick salmon fillets 
• Small handful of coriander, chopped
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method:

1. Cut out two large pieces of baking paper (about 38cm square) and set them aside. Preheat oven to 200C/180C Fan or Gas 6.
2. Put the oil, lemon zest and coriander and fennel seeds in a bowl, season well and stir. Then add the courgette, tomatoes, corn and sweet potato and toss well to coat everything in oil.
3. Divide the vegetables between the 2 pieces of paper, placing some in the middle of each one. Top with the salmon, then season with salt and pepper.
4. Take a parcel. Bring 2 sides of the paper together and twist the ends to secure, leaving a gap in the centre. Spoon 2 tbsp of cold water into the gap, then fold the paper over a couple of times to secure it. Repeat with the second parcel, then put them on a baking tray. Slice the reserved zested lemon into wedges and put these on the baking tray too.
5. Bake the parcels in the oven for 20-25 mins until the sweet potato is tender. Serve sprinkled with the chopped coriander and the cooked lemon wedges to squeeze over the salmon.
