    Someone posted a lovely recipe for a salmon plait a couple of weeks ago but I can't find it - sounded lush

    It's a good one to make & freeze & bring out when you want to wow someone but don't have much time. Also a good one for Xmas buffets etc;).

    Or how about fish pie made with tinned salmon? I have done this in the past & it works fine esp in little indvidual serving dishes, I use pureed sweetcorn instead of white sauce & always put sliced hardboiled eggs between the fish & the potato layers.

    HTH;)

    Found a tin of Salmon at work the other day, not something i'd normally buy.
    Just wondering what i can do with it, a cheapish meal of some sort? :confused:

    Or else i'll end up giving it to the cats :rolleyes:
    Errrr...come back later ;)
  • Fishcakes would make it go a bit further and use up leftover mash if you've got some...... can't beat homemade :p
    :wave:
  • Another vote for fishcakes. Although I make mine with rosti (grated potato) rather than mash :)
    Warning ..... I'm a peri-menopausal axe-wielding maniac ;)

  • Nooooo, don't give it to the cats. make a lovely salmon quiche:D

    Fry 2oz mushrooms and one small onion until soft. Drain the salmon (usually a 7 1/2 oz tin) and mash. Into a prepared pastry case spread the onions and mushrooms. Top with the salmon. Beat one egg with a quarter pint of milk and 2 oz cheese, then season with salt and pepper. Pour over the salmon, onions and mushrooms. Bake at gas 6 for 25-30 mins until firmly set. Eat hot or cold. Delicious:D

    Can you tell this is one of my oldest recipes:rotfl:

    Hi Wesker,

    We have an older thread on what to do with tinned salmon that might help you, so I'll merge your thread with it as it helps to keep all the suggestions together.
