salmon in a bag | easy + fresh + delicious

I love salmon. I love Asian food. I love brown rice. I love fresh vege. So of course, I love this meal. It is so healthy and quick to make so makes for a fabulous midweek dinner.

This is the easiest recipe imaginable and has been adapted from a Donna Hay recipe I cooked donkey’s years ago. You can use any type of fish or vegetables that you have on hand. Add more chilli if you are a lover, like me, or leave it out entirely.

Using the ready cooked brown rice makes it simply too quick to make and there is virtually no washing up! Even better.
