thanks, yeah the label says it has already been frozen so thats why I cant freeze it....Wasnt sure if once it had been cooked it would then be fine, like the ideal of making fish cakes.....if i poach the salmon then mix it with mash potato and some tuna and a bit of salt and pepper will it then be suitable for freezing? and how do i go about cooking them when they come out?

sorry hope these dont seem like stupid questions I dont eat fish so have no idea of cooking it, would just really like to start cooking more for my son, thanks

that sounds a fine fishcake recipe - I would wrap well for the freezer and cooking wise I like to dip in egg and breadcrumbs and fry on each side before finishing off in the oven.

thanks so much for all your replies....

R.mac would you take them out the freezer and defrost first then dip in egg and breadcrumbs? or straight from frozen?....actually think i know the answer but best to ask lol

Hi aimme,

I would cook the salmon before freezing as if it's been previously frozen it shouldn't be frozen in the same state (ie raw) a second time.

There's an earlier thread with lots of ideas on using up salmon fillets so I've added your thread to it to keep all the suggestions together.

This is my favourite thing to do with a salmon fillet - if you have fresh parsley available, chop a good couple of tbsps worth up and chuck that in the mix too.

Pesto Topped Salmon:

Mixed roughly 3 tbsp mayonnaise with 1 tbsp of pesto and spread on the top of room temperature salmon fillets (covers two nice and thickly, could spread to four small ones thinly spread). Bung under grill for 10-15 mins, depending how thick the fillets are - I serve with rice and green beans usually - yummy

my son only eats fish!! and salmon is a fave hes not into the spicythings but here are a couple of his faves.

wrap salmon in tin foil with a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon cook for about 20 mins serve with potato wedges and veg.

salmon and potato rostis - grate 2 potatoes per person (put in a tea towel and squeeze until dry) in a bowls put the potatom cooked salmon flakes, season can grate oinion or corgettes if u like and one egg mix, make into burger shapes flatten and fry over a medium flame until browning and keep flipping them over until cooked.

a nice sause to put over salmon that has been lightly fried in olive oil -
soy sauce, wholeseed mustard and some honey, mix together and heat up in the micro then pour over the top, hope this helps good luck!
