Salmon wrapped in filo with a watercress sauce and cauliflower couscous.
This dish is a great midweek dinner. The inspiration for this dish came from a spare packet of filo pastry lying in the fridge. Salmon en croute is a bit of a palaver to make, plus the possibility of a soggy bottom is too much of a risk. This version is a lot healthier using filo, quicker to make and success is virtually guaranteed.

- Heat the oven to 180°C. Brush a sheet of filo with the melted butter/oil mix. Lay a fillet of salmon on one end and spread some pesto over the top of it.
Roll up like a parcel, butter the outside of the parcel making sure any loose edges are tucked in. Repeat 3 more times. Put these in the oven for 20-25mins, check after 20. - As soon as they go in the oven put your potatoes on to boil.
- Soften the shallot in a bit of oil for a few minutes. Add the chicken stock, then the watercress. Cook for 2 minutes.
Take off the heat and liquidise with a stick blender, add the creme fraiche and season with salt and pepper. Add a touch of cornflour to get the desired consistency. - For the couscous, add the butter to a large frying pan and cook over a medium heat for 8 minutes. Season well with sea salt.
