My sister gave me this recipe as something quick and easy to cook after a long day at work. Its basically just throwing salmon and veg in dish and cooking it in a oven. You can use any type of vegtables you like for this dish. Make sure to use plenty of spinach leaves as it only looks alot to begin with.

This is a recipe I got from a magazine and have not treid it out yet. Did not copy the recipe exactly as they always tend to over complicate matters. When I try it will let you know if they are missing something out. They say to serve the prawns with crusty bread and side salad. I would serve this with a lemon wedge and the sauce as a dip.
