Healthy Lunch Tip: Using whole wheat pita instead of white increases fibre by up to 4 grams. Using light mayonnaise instead of regular saves up to 4.5 grams of fat (or 40 calories) per sandwich.

Okonomiyaki

This savoury pancake makes a great starter for a small group or a hearty meal that serves one or two people. Look for okonomi sauce and bonito flakes at Asian supermarkets. If you can't find the more richly flavoured Japanese-style mayonnaise, substitute with regular mayo.

Oven-Poached Salmon

This classic buffet dish is not only beautiful but also delicious hot or cold. Cutting the fish before cooking gives clean edges. To serve, garnish with more slices of lemon and fresh sprigs of parsley and thyme. Watercress mayonnaise makes a spring-fresh condiment to serve alongside (see below).
