- 2 skinless salmon fillets, approx 100g each

- Place a salmon fillet in the centre, season with salt and pepper then spoon over half of the leek mixture.
- Fold the ends over the top, then pull up the sides and scrunch together to enclose. Brush both of the parcels with melted butter.
- Place onto a lightly greased baking sheet, then cook in the middle of a preheated oven at 190ºC/190ºF/Gas Mark 5 for 20-25 mins until browned and crisp. Serve with your favourite green salad.
