Ingredients
- 1 x 200g can Safcol Salmon in Springwater, drained
- 1 large leek, washed and sliced finely
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- sea salt freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup Jarlsberg cheese, grated
- ½ cup tasty cheese, grated
- 6 wholegrain wraps, we used chia
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- In a large frying pan, on medium-low heat, add olive oil and cook the leeks for a couple of minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn the heat to low, cover with a lid and cook until soft but not browned. Remove from the heat, add the Safcol smoked salmon and the tasty grated cheese season to taste with sea salt and a little pepper.
- Take the wraps out of the pack and place on a plate covered with cling film. Warm very gently for about 15 seconds, on the defrost setting of your microwave – this will make the wraps softer and easier to fold.
- Take the cling off the wraps and working fast place 2 small tablespoons of the leek and salmon mixture on one half of each wrap. Fold in half and then again in quarters, place on a large baking tray. Repeat with the remaining wraps.
- Sprinkle with the grated Jarlsberg cheese. Bake in the oven for about 12 minutes or until the cheese melts and the wraps turn golden and crisp. Serve immediately.

This recipe has delicious written all over it. It is also full of health benefits. Starting with the quality Safcol Salmon which not only provides your body with protein to keep you feeling fuller for longer but also repairs and creates all the cells in your body. Salmon is a great source of omega-3 fat, being a fatty fish. This fat is linked to a healthy heart and arteries as well as being a source of omega-3 fat which contains DHA, the main source of fat nutrient for your brain.
Extra virgin olive oil adds to the heart-healthy oils and like omega-3 fat promotes healthy cholesterol levels. On top of this as a star oil, it provides 36 different antioxidants to fight off free radicals which cause damage and disease to the cells of your body. Jarlsberg and tasty cheese add more protein as well as calcium which is needed not only for strong bones and teeth but to assist normal muscle contractions in your body. Both cheese and salmon are good sources of B12 and choline which is needed for your central nervous system to work normally. Also, iodine and selenium which support the health and normal functioning of your thyroid. Your thyroid produces hormones and influences your metabolism.
Leek will provide your body with potassium which supports healthy blood pressure. Also, Vitamin A which is a fat-soluble vitamin will keep your immune system working at its best as well as playing a role in eye health. Leek is also a good source of vitamin K which plays a role in keeping your bones strong and allows for normal blood clotting. Make sure you save this recipe.
