Healthy Eating
I do try as best as possible to keep the kids' meals and snacks as regular and as healthy as possible (although I have to admit there is a lot more eating out and snacks involved during the Christmas Holidays!)
But my own healthy eating and fitness often takes a massive hit during the festive period (or any school holidays for that matter!)
It can often be difficult for parents or caregivers to have the headspace to focus on their own health and fitness!
Quick Meals & Snacks
With life being so busy sorting out the kids, it often leads to grabbing quick meals to eat and snacking on all the wrong things!
But with school and nursery starting up again (hooray for routine!) get yourself ready to tackle better eating habits.
A Quick & Easy Healthy Recipe
There are heaps of lovely but complicated salmon recipes out there, so I wanted to come up with a really quick and easy recipe that you can whip up in less than 20 minutes.
Healthy eating is so much easier to stick to if it's simple! No long lists of ingredients that are hard to get or complicated cooking methods. Just simple, healthy food that is good for you.
Why is Salmon Good For You?
The benefits of eating salmon are huge and too long to list all the ways that it's a good idea to include salmon in your healthy eating regime, but to list a few of the headlines:
- Salmon is high in protein. So in simple terms, it will keep you fuller for longer. There's really nothing worse than feeling hungry!
- Like a lot of fish, it's rich in good fats which in turn are good for your heart health and your brain!
- If you keep the skin on, it's jam packed with nutrients that will keep your skin looking healthy and supple.
Salmon Parcel Recipe
I'm a big advocate of a one pot recipe. No faffing about with lots of different pots and pans here, everything for this recipe goes into one dish!
The ingredients are all simple and easy to source. You will be able to get all the ingredients you need for my salmon recipe from your local supermarket.
The cooking time is only 15 minutes so takes literally no time at all!
Literally the easiest healthy recipe that is delicious but filling and a great way to start eating better!

Made these for mine and my husbands dinner the other night and they were wonderful! I think I put a bit too much water in so will do less next time but they were delicious nonetheless!
