Hints & Tips

Below we added some of our communities most common hints and tips. We hope you find them useful.

You can add a fish stock cube to the water for the potatoes and broccoli for some extra flavour if you like.

You could also cook the potato wedges in the microwave for 10 minutes if you prefer.

NEW TIP
Cool the potatoes and veg before adding the crème fraiche, or it may curdle
Love salmon and this is a great addition to my repertoire 👍
This is a great new way of using up creme fraiche. Added some cauliflower which was lurking in the fridge. So delicious, will be one I return to regularly.
Let the potatoes and broccoli go cold (or at least cool) before adding to the creme fraîche, or it may curdle. Next time I will put the potatoes and vegetables in the oven for 10-15 minutes before adding the salmon

This was a very tasty dish – lovely flavours! Salmon and broccoli always go well together but the creme fraiche and dusting of parmesan add extra dimensions.
