DESCRIPTION:

The key to a succulent and juicy salmon fillet is retaining more of it pinkness and for me, keeping the skin on. The skin adds another 40 calories per fillet, but makes a big difference to taste. This is perfectly balanced dinner meal, as you offset the richness of the Salmon with the tender Parma Ham wrapped Asparagus and the satisfying goodness of the Leeks. Serve with some crispy mini Sweet Potato roasties and a drizzle of Hollandaise and voila! Screams healthy, with no sacrifice on flavour or enjoyment.
