Method

  1. Put the potato wedges into a shallow microwave-proof baking dish, then cook on High for 10 mins until almost tender all the way through (turn the wedges halfway through to ensure even cooking). Add the broccoli, re-cover and cook for another 3 mins or until the florets just give with a knife. If you don't have a microwave, boil instead.
  2. Heat grill to medium. Mix the crème fraîche and mustard together with a little seasoning. Nestle the salmon in among the potatoes and broccoli, then spoon over the crème fraîche mix, making sure most of the broccoli is covered with sauce. Sprinkle with the cheese and grill for 5 mins until the sauce is bubbling, the tips of the potatoes are golden and the salmon is just cooked.

Buying salmon fillets

Salmon sold in packs normally has the skin still on. Buy it from the fish counter instead, and ask them to remove the skin, saving you the hassle when you get home. Make sure it is from a sustainable source.

    Very yummy, super easy. Next time however i will be keeping the potato wedges seperate because it just didn't feel like a complete meal. I also added lots of other recipes leek, mushrooms and sweetcorn, just for extra texture!

    Such a yummy recipe. I usually add extra creme fraiche, and use smoked salmon.

    Another dinner table favourite. I use more creme fraiche and boil the potatoes as our microwave isn't up to the job. The salmon stays really moist and melts in the mouth. I might add something with a bit of cruch next time, just to give it a bit of texture. It's so easy to make, took about half an hour.

    I agree with tattookitten; I added more vegetables, and therefore needed more creme fraiche, but I used the low fat alternative to keep the saturated fats to a minimum. Scrummy recipe.

    This was absolutely delicous and simple to make, the salmon was cooked perfectly. I used half fat creme fraiche so was really healthy. Will definitely make it again.

    Very quick & easy to cook, love the taste of salmon etc but dont think much of the mustard, can it be replaced by anything at all??

    The combination of the ingredients was really nice - not sure about the mustard, so would leave this out next time.
