Salmon and leek parcels

It's still freezing cold, with powdery snow everywhere. It'd be rather good for sledging except (a) it's about 1mm deep, and (b) Grandma and Grandad failed to bring the enormous wooden sledge with iron runners that Uncle Dom and I used to hurtle downhill on.

Tea turned out to be rather good, considering it was thrown together in 10 minutes after a hideously cold walk back from nursery in the dark.

You'll need:

salmon steaks (two large ones fed the three of us)
a couple of large leeks, sliced into rings
two large foil squares
a little olive oil
black pepper

Take your square of foil, and place half the leeks on top. Sit the salmon steak on top of the leeks, and drizzle with a little olive oil. Season with black pepper. Repeat for steak 2.

Stick in the oven at about 175 degrees c for ooh, half an hour or so - open up the parcel and have a look. If the salmon is pink all the way through, then you're in business.

We ate ours with a real ragtag of things today. I was going to do a lemony, oniony risotto to go with it, but discovered there was only one rice for one portion - so your Dad had that on the side, while we had some tiny star-shaped pasta, swished round in some pesto.
