2 pods garlic - diced

2. Place the chicken and salmon into a baking dish.

3. Cover it with the mixed herbs and garlic.

4. Add a few drops of olive oil and mix well. Cover it up with aluminium foil.

5. Bake at 200 degree Celsius for about 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

Easy tip: Instead of a baking dish, wrap up the salmon and chicken and the herbs inside aluminium foil and make sure it is nicely wrapped and place the whole package into the oven to bake!

Note: This dish may not be suitable for those who do not like the smell of these strong herbs due to the use of herbs in the recipe. If you can’t stand dishes with herby aromas, you could reduce the amount of herbs used to perhaps a few leaves each. This dish relies mostly on the sweet juices of the chicken and salmon for a naturally sweet flavour while the herbs adds the much needed aroma.

You can also use other fresh herbs such as dill, parsley, mint, etc. It is really your choice, which herbs you like.

Just remember to enjoy your baked salmon and chicken hot from the oven.
