A simple dish of smoked fish and cream which is good served with hot brown toast to mop up the sauce and a crisp salad. The salmon could be replaced with smoked haddock if preferred. You will need 2 small shallow baking dishes.
An early summer favourite from ” Lobster and Chips” by Trish Hilferty. The first wild salmon usually becomes available in early June, briefly overlapping with the time of year when smaller Jersey Royals are still available. Sea Trout or organic salmon can be used as an alternative, but I urge you not to use farmed salmon.
A quick and healthy supper from ” Nigella Bites” by Nigella Lawson. If you can, use wild or organic salmon. Farmed salmon won’t taste anything like as good and is often detrimental to the environment and harmful for the fish, contributing to disease. I would far rather eat less fish than support many types of fish farming.
Both a comforting supper and a storecupboard standby from ” Nigella Bites” by Nigella Lawson. They are good served with frozen peas and tomato ketchup, or perhaps mango chutney which I can enjoy with anything.
I visited good friends for dinner yesterday and was served this most delicious but simple supper for summer. My friend didn’t have any Cornichons so prepared the dish using capers instead, and this worked very well. The recipe is from Diana Henry’s ” From the Oven to the Table”, one of my go to cookbooks.
A Scandinavian inspired salad from ” Cook Simple” by Diana Henry. You could use smoked trout or fresh salmon instead of the hot smoked salmon, and add quarters of cooked ( not pickled) beetroot if you like.
A great supper from ” Cook Simple” by Diana Henry. The salmon caviar makes it special, but is expensive so can be omitted. If you like you can add cooked peas or little spears of asparagus when in season. You can use smoked trout instead of salmon, or a mixture of smoked and fresh cooked salmon.
