I decided to have a go at this No Count recipe as I was looking for another way of cooking salmon, and salmon en croute is a meal I haven’t had for nearly two years while I’ve been following the NC plan. It was always going to be tough to try to replicate the real thing but we absolutely loved this and I can’t wait to make it again.
It’s free on No Count and 5 points per serving if following WW Freestyle.
Ingredients (serves 2):
- 2 boneless salmon fillets
- 80g baby spinach
- ½ an onion, finely chopped
- 25g fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 2 WW wraps
- 1 tbsp olive oil (use a low-cal spray oil if following WW Flex)
- 100g Yeo Valley 0% crème fraiche
- an egg
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180C.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the onion. Cook for a couple of minutes.
- Add the spinach, parsley and lemon juice and cook for a further 3 minutes.
- Take the pan off the stove and squeeze any water out of the spinach.
- Stir in the crème fraiche and season to taste.
- Lay the wraps out on a baking tray and brush some of the beaten egg all round the edge.
- Place a salmon fillet on each wrap – over to one side – before putting some of the mixture from the pan over each salmon fillet.
- Fold over the wrap and press down with a fork to seal the edges together.
- Brush the remaining egg over each wrap.
- Place the baking tray in the oven for about 25 minutes.
- I’ve served it here with roasted vegetables: enjoy!
When I make this again, I’ll serve it with mashed potatoes and long-stem broccoli.
Going to cook this salmon en croute looks really tasty. All your recipes and blogs are really inspirational and really helpful .when are you going to write a cookery book filled with your recipes . Thankyou

Looks really nice. I can’t get WW wraps so can I just use standard type wraps?
Hi and thank you Vanessa! You can use a standard type wrap but if you are doing No Count, you would have to point it. Hope you have a lovely day, Helen xxxx

Hi Jan, and thank you so much for your lovely comments.
Yet another amazing , delicious and easy recipe. Just a few questions : how did you drain the spinach after cooking ? Can yogurt replace creme fraiche in this recipe ? What else can be done with left over spinach mixed with creme fraiche ?
Many thanks for the great website and all your effort with helping others achieve what you achieve with your weight loss.
Awww thank you Nisa, that’s so kind of you to say.

Could you replace the crime fraiche my daughter is dairy intolerant
Hi Pat, you could replace the creme fraiche with Alpro plain yogurt – it might be thinner in texture but it should work ok:-)Helen xxxx
