This a favorite of mine... no name that I'm aware of so we'll call it "Popeye Salmon" ........

Sorry don't have quantities coz I just cook by eye so it'll depend on the size of the fish and ofcourse the size of your appetite

Lay a sheet of puff pastry on the work surface. Place the salmon onto that, season then cover with a layer of spinach (as thick as the salmon) Fold over the pastry and nip down the edges to form a pie. Bake until the pastry is a nice golden brown....

Empty a tub of single cream into a bowl. Chop up some apple into small cubes. Finally chop some leek and add that with the apple to the cream. This salad goes really well with the salmon...

Tofu and Noodle soup

1 packet of firm tofu
1 lime
veggie stock (I like the marigold bouillon vegan version)
tamari (a special kind of soy sauce, look in the oragnic section of the supermarket or ask in any health-food shop)
lemongrass
root ginger
garlic
red chillies
packet mangetout/sugarsnap peas, halved
0.3-0.5 savoy cabbage, shredded
2 large carrots, cut into matchsticks
****ake mushrooms (if you like that kind of thing. I don't!)
2 blocks fine egg noodles
fresh coriander

Cut the tofu into chunks, grate the zest of the lime over it, squeeze the lime juice on too, then add a liberal dose of tamari (at least 2-3 tablespoons, that stuff is delicious!), give it a quick mix, hands are best, and leave to marinate for a good bit while you get on with the rest.

nb. If you wanted to add a little toasted sesame oil to the mixture it wouldn't hurt, but isn't really necessary. Just keep it too about 1 tsp, otherwise you won't be able to taste the rest!

Bash a couple of lemongrass stalks with something like a pestle or the end of a rolling pin. (I actually use the handle of my knife, but my husband can't watch in case I lose my fingers, so I'm not going to recommend that!) Same treatment to 2 or 3 whole red chillies and 3 cloves of garlic. Cut 2 or 3 10p shaped slices ginger, peel, and add them with all the bashed stuff to 2 pints of veggie stock in your biggest saucepan. Simmer it all together for about an hour, then fish all the bits out with a slotted spoon and get rid of them.

Carrots, mangetout and tofu (with any extra marinade) in now (and mushrooms if you're using them) and simmer for 10 minutes. Cabbage and noodles in together and simmer until the noodles are cooked. If you like your cabbage well cooked you might want to put it in a little before the noodles, but it might be a recipe for wind!

Finally stir in a good handful of finely chopped fresh coriander just before you serve it.

nb. If you were feeding vegans you wouldn't want to use egg noodles, and you can get other types. I think japanese rice noodles are OK, but you'd need to check. Just watch out for the ones that are made with palm oil. Vegan they might be, but they also contain a staggering amount of fat compared to the egg ones. Palm oil plantations are also decimating the forests of Borneo, the last remaining habitat of the Orang-Utan.
