The rules are simple:
Eat only natural food that is produced locally. If not local, then from your district. Eat seasonally. Spices, tea and coffee are the only items that should have a passport...

Easy food takes less than 30 minutes to make but is nutritious as well as delicious. The longer you cook food, and the more you change it, the unhealthier it becomes.
You shouldn't buy processed food and you certainly should make it!

Salmon parcels

One of the easiest ways to cook fish is in a foil parcel.

1. Tear a piece of foil about 30cm long. (Longer is better than shorter.)
2. Put a little olive oil in the middle of the foil and wipe it around with your finger.
3. Put a boneless salmon fillet or white fish fillet in the middle of the foil.
4. Top with some sliced or shredded mushrooms. In this case, maitake.
5. Top with very thinly sliced white onion.
6. Wrap up the foil parcel, and close the ends.
7. Bake in a toaster oven, regular oven or under the fish grill for about 8 minutes.
8. Leave to rest for 2 minutes.
9. Be careful of the steam when you open it.

NOTES:
1. If you don't want to use foil, you can use a Pyrex dish with a lid.
2. The olive oil will stop the fish from sticking. Wiping the oil around with your finger is OK! If you use a brush, you'll have to wash it. Mother Nature gave you fingers, so use them ;)
7. This recipe is good because you can use the toaster oven or grill while you are cooking vegetables on the top of your cooker. You can put the packages in there and forget about them.

This dish is not good cold. But you can cook plain salmon in this way and add it to your lunch box, flake it for rice balls, etc.

You can also prepare the parcels in the morning and then cook them at night.

Small chicken fillets (sasami chicken) is okay cooked like this.
