Meals for Under £10: Roast salmon with apple salsa verde

THIS dish is a little taste of summer and full of flavour.

The combination of salmon, garlic, fruit and herbs means it’s packed with healthy vitamins and minerals, too, so you can give yourself a pat on the back for being so health-conscious.

If you want to give it a slightly different flavour, you can use avocado oil, which gives it a creamier flavour.
