  Recipe easy to make and the salmon was great, but the leek and parsnip mash wasn't very tasty.

  Parsnip and leek mash was ok but I'd say halve the amount of parsnips. Also it was incredibly dry so I added lots of melted butter and more fromage frais, much nicer.

  We liked this - used a knob of butter rather than fromage frais as didn't have any. Don't know why it would be dry or tasteless - ours was silky and really tasty. Definitely wouldn't advise halving the parsnips.. perhaps just don't make this if you're not keen on them. Served with some green beans.

  Very tasty, will be doing this again very soon. Didn't have fromage frais so used a knob of butter and a little milk instead.

  Mash was a bit dry so added some milk and butter in addition to fromage frais. Great recipe. Will be a regular in my house.

  Used salmon steaks instead of fillets + missed out the fromage frais (have to be dairy free). Was nice for mid-week easy meal.

  I really really enjoyed this dish. Like many other commenters, I didn't use fromage frais (not something I normally have in) so just used butter and milk, as for mashed spuds. I supplemented the parsnips with a couple of carrots to make up the weight, and the result was absolutely delicious. I'd have never thought of pairing salmon with parsnips but it works remarkably well. Very pleased, definitely a keeper.

  This wasn't bad but it had too much lemon for all of us, it took over the flavour of the actual meal. I didn't use 1kg of parsnips, I did half and half potatos and parsnips and I'm glad I did as it would have been far too much parsnip otherwise. On the plus side, the kids loved the mash.

  This was quick and pretty good! The parsnip and leek mash was yummy mixed with a little diced taleggio for cheesiness!
