mint Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Come on, where are all the cooks out there?For general information, I have recently made:Patf's Lentil Bake. Yummy yum even though I adore meat but it was a treat for OHSueyh's pudding with apples, walnuts, raisins. Suitably stodgy (as all puddings should be) and as nice cold as hot. OH loved it with custard but I prefer yoghurt as I don't really like things too sweet (despite my name).Now, I use salmon quite a lot as it's one of the more affordable fish. Anyone with nice salmon recipes? I sometimes make fish cakes but more often than not just poach the fillets and make a sauce (parsely, cheese, tomato, curry, bearnaise) to go with them.Ideas, please. Let's get them rolling in again................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppy Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Will never admit to being a cook but even OH who isn't keen on salmon will eat this-SPEEDY SALMON & LEEKS700g finely sliced leeks3 tbsp olive oil2 tsp wholegrain musard2 tbsp clear honeyjuice half lemon250g cherry tomatoes halved4 x 175g skinless salmon filletsPut leeks into microwave dish, sprinkle with 2 tbsp water. Cover dish with cling film & pierce a couple of times. Cook on high for 3 mins stand for 1 min.Whisk olive oil, mustard, honey and lemon juice together season with s&p. Scatter tomatoes on top of leeks & spoon over half of sauce.Lay salmon fillets on top of veg and spoon remaining sauce over them. Replace cling film and cook on high for 9 mins.I don't usually cook in the microwave but this seems to work well. I'm sure it could be adapted for conventional cooking.PS You might want a bit more lemon juice and less honey if you don't like sweet things.PPS Sweets, have you come across this site www.bbcgoodfood.com You just type salmon or whatever takes your fancy into Search Good Food Recipes.

mint Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Thank you, Poppy, for the recipe and for the link.OH should like your salmon recipe as leeks are his national veg. Used to make me laugh, the sight of these great big leeks pinned to people's lapel on St David's Day. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppy Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Thanks Sweet for reminding me that leeks are Welsh. We lived in N Wales for a few years and felt very at home, I think if we ever returned to the UK we would go back there. I guess I always associate Wales with daffodils because I am a 'geordie' girl and think of the annual leek shows in Northumberland where it was such a big event and first prize was a television or fridge. In those days such prizes were worth an awful lot. Thanks again for the memory [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sueyh Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Sorry don't know why it put all the technical drivvle at the top....! Perhaps one of the mods can sort it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Thank you, Sue, for reviving this thread.Love the sound of your salmon recipe. Guess the secret is the marinading overnight. Am very tempted to rush out and buy some salmon tout de suite.Got the fresh root ginger but, alas, no spring onions so will have to use ordinary onions. Nevermind, will add parsely from the garden and possibly a spoonful or two of dry white wine in the marinade.Bon appetit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patf Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 We had salmon cooked like that at a friend's house and it really was delicious. I've always meant to try it myself. Thanks for the recipe.There are cheap(ish) whole salmon in the shops on promo at the moment and they freeze well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Not too much soy sauce though as it is very salt.Wonder if it could be marinaded in a honey mix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Last summer (what a long time ago that now seems), I did marinate some salmon steaks in honey, whole-grain mustard and soy sauce and whacked them on the bbq.Hmmmmmmm.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
