salmon rosti noodles.

Happy Lunar New Year - 2025 the Year of the Snake! I love creating Chinese inspired recipes and this one is no different. It actually came about by accident when I only had one salmon fillet and wanted to make it stretch into a noodle dish to use some stir fry veg, mushrooms, coriander and spring onions. To make the salmon work for two meals, I used a large potato to make some delicious Chinese style salmon rostis to go with vegetable noodles. Can you believe one salmon fillet yielded four rostis? A recipe I'll make again and again for sure.

baked dill salmon with beetroot risotto.

A tasty and wholesome dish for seafood lovers. Salmon, dill and beetroot go hand in hand, so I thought it was about time I made something with them again. When I have extra time at the weekend I love to slowly stir a risotto, simmering away. So I thought I'd bring these ingredients together in a vibrant risotto, for a recipe that is a great source of protein, iron, energy and also goes towards your five a day.

smoked salmon, ricotta and asparagus tart.

Although the weather can't make it's mind up, Spring is finally in full swing. And that means one of my favourite ingredients is in season... asparagus. Perfect with seafood and fish, the colourful asparagus adds an extra something to this smoked salmon and ricotta puff pastry tart. It's super quick and easy to make too; you can have it for a light lunch, make ahead for picnics or for dinner with a side salad. Tulips optional.

roasted lemon & herb salmon linguine with the saucy fish co. + recipe video.

Sometimes the simplest of recipes are the tastiest, aren’t they? No fuss, fresh flavours and a variety of colours and textures are what I look for in a midweek meal. Comfort and convenience is key, but I like to keep it light and fresh too. (However much I love pasta). That’s where The Saucy Fish Co. offerings come in. They’re perfect for adding to healthy veg or stirring through a recipe for a delish balanced dish.

Happy National Picnic Week! And what a lovely week for it too. With an absolute scorcher this weekend, let's hope this is the official start of Summer now! (Please?) I've teamed up with Wayfair to showcase one of their beautiful picnic baskets with a light and summery mini salmon quiche recipe. 

Perfect for picnics, these pocket-sized snacks are delicious on-the-go, as well as alfresco dining in the garden. The buttery tart pastry is filled with lightly cooked salmon and fresh dill to create a bitesize favourite that the family with love.

pesto salmon en croute: recipe video.

It's no secret that most of my go-to recipes involve salmon. Such a delicate ingredient that goes well with a variety of cuisines - from salmon tandoori and teriyaki noodles to featuring in pasta and risottos. It's always a winner with me! So, when Norwegian Salmon Council got in touch I couldn't wait to get creative with one of my favourite fish. Their Norwegian Salmon is available at Tesco and other leading supermarkets, and is definitely a popular choice amongst seafood fans. Established in 1876, the generations of Norwegian Salmon fishermen have always had the philosophy of being in harmony with nature. From the Arctic waters, to your table.

For this recipe, I've put together a step-by-step video too. So you can see exactly how I made the pesto salmon en croute from the addition of pesto right through to the plaited effect top. Scroll down for the video... Happy viewing!

pan fried salmon with asparagus, green lentils and quinoa.

There's nothing quite like a nice fillet of pan fried fish to accompany vibrant vegetables and pulses. Salmon is one of my favourite, and either baked or pan fried with vegetables, grains or noodles is one of my go-to dishes. To try out the new Circulon Ultimum Skillet Pan, sent to me for review, I thought it made perfect sense to try out a nice pan fried salmon recipe. I've teamed the salmon with a medley of quinoa, edamame beans, green lentils, chilli, spring onions and asparagus, which I also charred in the frying pan.

salmon kedgeree.

A super simple kedgeree recipe featuring salmon instead of the traditional smoked haddock. Introduced to Britain as a breakfast dish during the Victorian era, it's now popular as a brunch, lunch or addition to Champagne breakfast. I've used a loose kedgeree recipe to make a really speedy version that can be eaten at any time of day. It is also a pretty low fat and healthy dish packed with protein, as kedgeree recipes include milk. Enjoy!

salmon huevos rancheros.

A seafood twist on huevos rancheros. This Mexican inspired dish of spice, tomatoes and eggs is usually a breakfast affair. I added salmon to the mix to create a delicious meal idea with a bit of a kick. Serve these runny eggs with extra red chillies and fragrant coriander.

With 2015 coming to an end and 2016 just around the corner, I've put together a super simple canapé recipe to impress your guests! This smoked salmon and cucumber canapé with lemon and dill crème fraîche takes just minutes to put together and seconds to devour. Perfect for nibbles at New Year's Eve parties, just get that fizz chilling and pop on your favourite party dress! 

big fish salmon review & recipes.

I'm a huge, huge seafood fan. Eating at least 4-5 portions of fish a week, I'm always looking for new flavours and recipes for salmon, trout, haddock, tuna and seabass. Mostly I tend to eat salmon, for which I'll buy a whole side, slice up into portions and pop in the freezer. With ice as nature's preservative, I'd like to think this is the most purse and eco friendly way to enjoy fish without wasting food or money. Enter: Big Fish Brand. With heritage dating back almost 100 years ago in the seaside town of Grimsby, I was delighted when I was invited to review their latest products and flavours.

salmon tortellini in parsley pesto.

the latest of my pasta adventures involved my love of salmon, attempts at tiny tortellini and a pesto adapted for seafood with a hint of parsley. i love making homemade pasta when i've got a spare weekend afternoon as i find it very therapeutic to make and then of course you have a lovely weekend meal at the end of it. 

yo! burger: rice, but not as you know it.

ahhh when i saw that yo! sushi were bringing out a limited edition yo! burger, so many questions went through my head. what flavours are there? would the rice "burger bun" be crunchy or springy? what are the sides like? and most importantly... what filling should i go for? a tough decision between the prawn and salmon, with other delicious sounding flavours including chicken, tofu and tilapia, i went for salmon :)

for £8, you get kimchi salmon on a bed of lettuce, topped with kimchi pickled vegetables and shredded nori served with either nori crackers or soya beans, daikon slaw and misochup. not bad for under 400 calories hey?

salmon korma kebabs.

this could be used as a barbecue idea or as part of a meal. for the recipe, which serves two, you will need...

shopping list
♥ two salmon fillets
♥ two tablespoons of korma paste
♥ one red pepper
♥ half a white onion, chopped
♥ 200ml coconut milk
♥ your favourite rice
♥ skewers

grilled salmon and avocado salad.

shopping list

♥ salmon fillet
♥ handful of rocket
♥ cracked black pepper

♥ one avocado

i know i claim a lot of my favourite dishes are simple. and i'm probably a tad biased/make them too much. but with this one it really is a "bung it".

simply grill the salmon for 10 mins on a medium heat, checking it flakes away if you break it with a fork. then toss it with sliced avocado and rocket. or whatever your favourite salad leaves are really :) healthy and filling!

diy sushi.

shopping list
♥ sheets of nori (toasted seaweed)
♥ salmon fillet, cooked
♥ one avocado
♥ sushi rice, seasoned with a tsp of rice wine vinegar

♥ mayonnaise

these handrolls, also known as temaki, are great as a snack, as a starter, shared with friends, or as part of other japanese treats.

for mine i used grilled salmon, with a slice of avocado and a little mayonnaise. i used cooked salmon with just light use of olive oil as i did not want to risk use of fresh sushi-grade salmon on my first attempt and knew regular supermarket salmon could be dangerous raw. i bought the nori from a local chinese supermarket though i am sure there is such thing as a fish based japanese mayonnaise or added sesame seeds for that extra something.

sushi rice can be as simple or as complicated as you want to describe it. to put it into better words, follow this recipe.

handrolls include fillings such as crab sticks, soft shell crab or veggie options.

we also tried making a crispy salmon skin roll, for which we asked for the offcuts at a local fish counter, fried them up in a pan and served in a temaki.

i used a diy video to help me prepare the roll like so.

light trout and rocket salad.

shopping list.
♥ one or two fillets of trout per person
♥ mixed herbs
♥ a bag of rocket, perhaps mixed with watercress or spinach
♥ a squeeze of lemon
♥ honey and mustard dressing

this is a lovely little meal for those watching their weight but looking for variety and indulgence.

i think people are put off trout. just the name of it makes you picture your old geography teacher in wrinkly tights with a face like she's just eaten a whole lemon. well, if it didn't, it does now.

well, think afresh, for trout is the new salmon.

it has a much lighter delicate flavour which only need be slightly seasoned. what's more, it's about half the price.

a dash of olive oil, perhaps a sprinkle of your favourite mixed herbs, wrapped in foil and grilled on a medium heat for ten minutes is all it needs.

serve with rocket salad, or other peppery leaves such as watercress and spinach. squeeze a little lemon and drizzle with honey and mustard dressing. yum.
