Salmon en Croute

Another show-off dishes! great for sharing with friends and family. 

Delicious dish doesn't need to be fancy, fancy dishes are not always delicious.

This is an easy impressive French dish that will take your breathe away..

Salmon is also a superfood, a great source of protein and omega-3 !

You'll need :

1 sheet of puff pastry / short crust pastry

( store bought or homemade ) 

400g of salmon fillet

60g unsalted butter, softened

Finely grated zest of 1 lemon

Generous handful of basil leaves

Small handful of dill leaves

Sea salt 

Freshly ground black pepper

1 tbsp wholegrain mustard 

Plain flour, to dust

1 egg yolk, beaten

Steps: 

1. Check the salmon for pin bones, removing any that you find with tweezers, then cut in half. Line a baking tray with a lightly oiled piece of foil.

2. Mix the softened butter with the lemon zest, basil, dill and some salt and pepper in a bowl, to make the filling.

3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with kitchen paper, then season lightly with salt and pepper. Spread the herb butter over one fillet, on the boned side, and the mustard evenly on the other fillet. Sandwich the two salmon fillets together, in opposite directions so both ends are of an even thickness.

4. Roll out the pastry thinly on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle, the thickness of a coin and large enough to enclose the salmon. Put the salmon parcel in the centre of the pastry and brush the surrounding pastry with egg. Bring up the edges, trimming off any excess, and tuck them in before folding the rest of the pastry over to form a neat parcel. Carefully turn the whole thing over so that the seam is underneath and place on the prepared baking tray.

5. Brush the pastry with beaten egg. Lightly score a herringbone or cross-hatch pattern using the back of a knife. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover loosely and chill for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6.

6. Bake the salmon for 20–25 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and crisp. To test if ready, insert a skewer into the middle. It should feel warm for medium cooked salmon. A piping hot skewer indicates that the fish is well done.

7. Rest the salmon for 5 minutes, then cut into portions using a serrated knife. 

Enjoy !

Banana apple muffins

Yes, banana!

It's another banana recipe again.

I couldn't express in words how much I love to eat banana . So I made myself some banana treats . This time pair up with an apple. = bapple?

And also a great breakfast idea too!

You can too with chopped nuts before bake them:) 

You'll need: 

• 1 apple
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder

• 1 egg, beaten
• 125 ml milk
• 240 gm cake flour
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/8 tsp salt

Steps: 

• Prepare oven at 175°c.
  
• Peel and deseed the apple. Cut into about 1cm dices. ( I grated them) Mix with the cinnamon powder. Set aside.
• Use a large spoon or a food processor to mash the banana into paste. Add the melted butter, sugar and egg. Combine well. Stir in the milk.
  
• Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt well. Sift into the banana mixture in 3 batches. Lightly combine all ingredients with a spatula or balloon whisk between each addition. Don’t over stir the batter because you don’t want your cup cakes turn hard as gluten forms inside. Mix in the diced apples.
  

  

  
  
• Spoon and divide the batter into the lined muffin trays. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until cooked through. Test with an inserted needle that comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Enjoy while the cup cakes are still warm.
