Salmon Fillets

nopot2pin

Salmon burgers are nice.....

I got a recipe from a Somerfiled magazine a while back...as follows..

2.5cm root ginger, peeled
6 sping onions,
50g skinless, boneless salmon, cut into chunks
1 egg
100g breadcrumbs
4tbsp fresh coriander

Put ginger, sping onion, into a food processor and whizz, until everything finely chopped.
Add the salmon and egg, breadcrumbs and coriander.
Pulse until combined.
Make into burger shapes.
Lightly shallow fry ( I have dried fry and it works out well too) for 5-6 mins on each side, or until cooked.

The serving suggestion states to serve with a ciabatta roll, and salad.
But it also goes great with potato wedges and sweetcorn.


Edit... If you use fresh salmon, the burgers freeze great
If you use defrosted frozen salmon, you will have to cook them first, before refreezing

Thanks everyone for some fab suggestions there. I've got about 10 fillets so I'll probably get the chance to try out each one !

Leeks and parsnips or sweet potatoes

I always serve salmon fillets with cous cous - my mum's recipe - it's delish!

I love salmon poached with a little white wine and black pepper. in winter i tend to do it with parsnip chips or real chips! strangely it goes well with sweet potato mash too - but i always serve a salad of some kind with it - yes, even in winter. salmon fish cakes are nice too and you can serve them with most things!

I bought some salmon fillets today reduced. However I dont know how to cook them or if they should be served with a sauce etc.
I would be really grateful for any help or advice as I actually bought two sets !
thanks x

You could do loads of things with them, but if you want to just have them as they are, just pop them in tin foil with a teaspoon of water and a bit of blackpepper / lemon if you have it, then bake until cooked through! I would just make a quick white sauce with parsley and a little lemon to go with it.

Or make a quick salmon fish pie? x

I make up my own little glaze using a dash of lemon juice, lemon zest, bit of honey and a sprinkle of chilli flakes. Mix it up in a small bowl then brush over the top of each salmon fillet. Grill or bake the fillets for approx 10-15mins until cooked through and serve with some new potatoes and steamed veg. Yum!

I do them the same way as SS, but I wrap them in tinfoil like a parcel and add just a knob of butter and salt and pepper. Put them in a medium oven for about 12 minutes. They're cooked when they're reasonably firm but still give slightly to pressure. If they feel a bit like jelly they need a few more minutes. If it's still raw-pink in the middle, they need another few minutes.

I like them served like that just with potatoes and veg but really you can serve anything with a salmon fillet, I think they're really versatile!

Hello OP,
You might like to cook both packs of salmon as described in posts above and serve one hot, then use the second pack to make salmon fishcakes. You need to boil and mash some potatoes - slightly more by weight than the salmon - then flake the fish into the mash, together with a spoonful of flour. Add some chopped parsley, the zest of a lemon and an egg, season with salt and pepper and mix well. Divide into 6 or eight, then shape each fishcake into a nice round. Flour lightly then shallow fry. Serve with a wedge of lemon and either a green salad or a green vegetable.
