Smoked
Salmon and Potato layers
Lime in
this dish makes a refreshing change from lemon
2 medium
to large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 small
onion thinly sliced
1
tablespoon cooking oil
125g pack
of smoked salmon pieces
1 lime,
zest finely grated, and juice squeezed
1
dessertspoon cornflour, mixed in a cup with a little cold water
1 teaspoon
vegetable stock granules
Vegetable
of your choice
Cooking
equipment
1 all
purpose pan Why not use one of our classic frying pans?
Method
Heat the
oil in the all purpose pan.
Put a
layer of potatoes in the pan, using about a third of them.
Follow
this with half of the onion, and half of the smoked salmon pieces
scattered over the potato and onion.
Repeat the
layers, in this order, half of the remaining potato, all of the
remaining onion and all of the remaining salmon.
Sprinkle
over the grated zest and juice of the lime.
Top with
the rest of the sliced potato.
Add the
vegetable granules to the cornflour mixture, top the liquid in the
mug up to two thirds full, and pour over the ingredients in the pan.
Bring to
the boil and simmer for 15 minutes approx, until the potato is cooked.
Alternatively,
when the potato and fish mixture has come to the boil, you could cook
this in the oven at 180ºC Gas Mark 4 for 20 – 30 minutes Use one of our oven safe pans, or simply remove the oak handle covers while you finish off the dish.
I enjoy this with an accompaniment of asparagus at this time of year, but broccoli or spinach are equally good, and of course, what better with any combination of fish and potato, than everyone's favourite - peas? Preferably not mushy ones!
Thank you for featuring my recipe. A friend of mine says it has become one of her favourites and is really cheap if you can get hold of some of the smoked salmon scraps sometimes sold in the supermarket.
