I got one of those Tesco Salmons for a fiver last week and now have thousands of steaks in the freezer. Can I cook them from frozen or need to thaw first? I wanted them for dinner tonight, but only thought it up just now :rolleyes:
Thank you in advance

    it says for best results always cook from frozen
    remove all packaging
    wrap the salmon side in foil
    place on baking tray in centre of pre-heated oven for 45-50mins

    No, it was a 3kg fish, which I had to de-scale and chop. Their spines are too robust for normal kitchen knives...
    Hmmm. D'you know what? Thank you for your help. I'll just defrost some for tomorrow and have sandwiches tonight instead... No fish bones in those...
