Hi. I'm just restarting SW and can't stop eating baked Salmon steaks & salad with hard boiled egg and salad potatoes. ..I don't want to get bored so does anyone have any other ideas for salmon?
Thanks
 
Pete’s Salmon Fishcakes

Serves 4

Ingredients

400g potatoes/ 2 large potatoes (ff)
140g fresh salmon/ 2 salmon fillets (ff)
1 handful of parsley
1 lemon (ss)(sff)

Method

Peel and cut the potatoes and boil them in salted water in a large saucepan, after 10mins put a bamboo steamer or a colander, on top of the saucepan, with the salmon in it, seasoned with salt & pepper, if using a colander cover with cooking foil to allow the salmon to steam. Cook for a further 10 mins.

When the potatoes and the salmon are cooked then remove the salmon, flake it and remove the skin, and place in a grass dish, drain the potatoes and then return to the pan, mash and allow to cool.

Add the potatoes, lemon rind & juice, parsley and salt & pepper, scup up in your hand a portion of the mix and form into a fishcake, adjusting them to a size that suits you.

Place into a fridge to allow them to stiffen.

Spray a frying pan with Fry Light and cook until browned, turn over and repeat.

2 Salmon Fillets
½ Fennel bulb, finely chopped
1 large Tomato, deseeded & finely chopped
1 small Leek, finely chopped
1tsp fish sauce
2 lemons
100g Couscous
Knorr vegetable stock pot
2 spring onions
Salt & Pepper

Method

Pre heat the oven at 220c
Cut two pieces of cooking foil so that you can make a parcel and fit inside two oven-proofed dishes.
Place the salmon skin side down and cut the lemon into slices and lie along the length of the salmon, apply the fish sauce to each piece, also the zest of a lemon. Add the Fennel, leeks and tomato, splitting the mix between the two salmon. Season well. Loosely fold the parcel and fold over at the top to allow the steam to escape. Cook for 20 mins.
10 mins before the end of the cooking time, prepare the couscous, add the stock cube to 200ml of boiling water, mix and add to the couscous, mix well then cover and stand for 10 mins.
Plate up with a bed of couscous and carefully remove the salmon from the foil remembering it will be very hot, de-skin it and cover with the cooked veg from each parcel. Add lemon juice as required. Serve with a salad.

:)Wow!

Thanks Mini for all these. I particularly like the sound of the fish cakes snd stir fry. I only ever do chicken stir fry so this will make a nice change.:eating:
 
Last night I did roasted veg then lay the salmon on top to cook once the veg has been in a while with soya sauce an some sweet chilli sauce I also fried up a load of courgette an mangtout
 
I realise this is a bit late... But I rub 1/2 to 1 tsp of Ras el Hanout (Moroccan spice) and some fry light onto the salmon and grill/bake/fry (with fry light) it and serve it with sweet or normal potato wedges and some roasted peppers and tomatoes - I love it!
