Method

  1. To cook the veg, boil the potatoes in salted water for about 10 minutes until almost tender but not breaking up. Tip in the frozen peas and simmer for another 2- 3 minutes. Drain well then tip into a mixing bowl. Turn on the grill to high.
  2. Drain the salmon and flake it into chunks, then gently toss with the potatoes and peas. Season to taste with salt and pepper and spoon into a flameproof dish.
  3. Dollop the crème fraîche on top, roughly spread it over, and scatter with the cheese. Grill for a few minutes until bubbly and golden.

    Loved the ease of this recipe but i would suggest a little more salmon is needed.

    We enjoyed this one too. It was quick and easy. I would like to do it with fresh salmon. I'd cook it wrapped in foil in the oven first. Cool, flake then follow recipe as above.

    Simple delicious fast food. I used large salmon cutlet, microwaved 5 mins and fromage frais instead of creme fraiche

    I tried this with tinned tuna as not a fan of tinned salmon and it was really tasty.

    This was very easy to put together and tasted good. I agree that maybe it could use a bit more salmon in it. I think it is a good base to add more vegetables to the mix for a quick and healthy meal. I bet you could use tuna too.

    After reading other reviews I was sceptical about the amount of salmon used but I was pleasantly suprised. The dish was really easy to do and was a quick and tasty midweek meal. I can't wait to try this dish with tinned tuna!

    This is one of my favorite recipes. Unfortunately in Portugal we can not get tinned salmon!!!!! Fresh salmon wasn't as nice. Have made it many times with tuna but it's not the same :(

    Totally yummy. I used two tins of Samon to bulk it up, plus i put in Tiger prawns. Instead of peas i used sweetcorn as my freezer has packed up and the supermarket diddnt have fresh peas. It was really easy to make plus my fella wolfed it up having seconds and taking the leftovers to work. I will defenetly be making this again.
