I was gently reminded by a friend that I am actually turning a year older than I thought I was. Clearly I can’t subtract as I continued to argue with my friend and my husband, defending my age.

 The extra year at least validates my current skin dilemma. I now have the addition of vertical laugh lines, creating a nifty little noughts and crosses pad on the side of my face in the morning (because I sleep on my face). 
So like everything else, my brain and skin are sliding into a recession.
Not only is salmon good for your brain (and heart), there is nothing better you can do for your skin than getting botox, I mean eating salmon.


Here is a quick and delicious fast mid week dinner recipe, using the more affordable tinned salmon, but with the same pick-me-up benefits for your skin and brain! It’s actually delicious served with a salad for a lunch as well.

Quick salmon and phyllo pie (4)
4 small leeks sliced
½ punnet baby marrow cubed (small)
1 punnet mushrooms chopped
2 TBS Ina Paarman chicken stock
4 sheets of phyllo pastry
1 tin salmon
1 tub woolies low fat salmon cream cheese
 
  1. pan fry leeks in a little oil
  2. add chopped mushrooms and baby marrow
  3. add 2 TBS stock powder and ½ cup water
  4. pop lid on pot and cook for about 6-7 minutes
  5. add cream cheese and stir to combine
  6. add a tin of salmon (remove skin and spine) and stir to mix
  7. place in a casserole dish
  8. pour a little oil onto your hands, rub together and wipe on a sheet of phyllo, crumpling it all up at the same time (or use spray n cook)
  9. Place on fish, using a quarter of the space. Repeat with remaining 3 sheets
  10. bake 180 ˚C for 20-25 minutes or until phyllo golden brown
