-
Preheat your oven to 180c.

-
Drain your potatoes and slice your potatoes and courgettes into approx 0.5 cm slices (or use a mandolin if you have one).
-
Now cut a piece of foil that is big enough to create a parcel to hold your food, You need enough excess to wrap across the top of the ingredients.
-
Spray of brush the foil with a little olive oil. Arrange the slices of partially cooked potato on the foil, over lapping them to fill the dish. Lay slices of courgette on top.
-
Once all of the courgette has been used up place the four salmon fillets on top, followed by a slice of lemon on each. Sprinkle with the fresh thyme, crushed garlic and a drizzle of oil.
-
Season with salt and pepper.

Wrap the foil over the top of the salmon. Cook for 20 minutes.
Recipe Notes
- This is a really good recipe to scale down- if you want to cook for less people just reduce the recipe accordingly, it's the perfect supper for nights on your own.
- Be sure not to overcook the salmon, it shouldn't have that tell tale white residue coming from it. If you notice this on the fish, remove from the oven straight away.
