Salmon in a bag
Ingredients
230g jar of roasted red peppers
15g smoked almonds
400g tin of chickpeas
15g flat-leaf parsley
30g chorizo
Two x 150g salmon fillets, skin on, scaled, pin-boned
Olive oil
Method
Preheat the oven to 220C (425F/gas seven). Place a large sheet of thick tin foil in a roasting tray, leaving half overhanging.
Drain the peppers and place in a blender with the almonds, most of the chickpeas and its juice, and the parsley stalks (reserving the leaves), then blitz until smooth. Season then spoon into the centre of the foil in the tray.
Finely slice the chorizo. Then slice two 1cm-deep cuts into the skin side of the salmon, then stuff in the remaining herb leaves.
Scatter the chorizo and the remaining chickpeas over the sauce, then sit the salmon on top.
Season with sea salt and black pepper, and drizzle with a little olive oil. Fold in the foil overhang, and twist the edges to seal.
Bake at the bottom of the oven for 15 minutes, or until the salmon is beautifully cooked through. The salmon is ideally accompanied by an additional serving of steamed or roasted seasonal vegetables on the side.
