    Lovely! The aioli has a fantastic minty lemony flavour that really compliments the fish. Needs some more veg to go with it though to make it a proper meal...

    Afraid I cheated a bit with the aioli - just mixed lemon, mint, and garlic into normal mayo - but it was still lovely! Kirsty: I made a full watercress & spinach salad to go with it, rather than just garnishing with watercress, which seemed to work well.

    We loved the fish....I did not like the potato rosti at all!!!! maybe my rostis were to thick so tasted like uncooked inside. I may try again but this time the rostis will be very fine. Let's hope.

    Awesome! I used a bunch of new potatoes as I didn't have any big ones but this turned out so perfect - absolutely delicious!

    This turned out overall well. I burnt the salmon skin slightly...probably should brush some oil as well as mustard. Had some trouble grating the onion too. Just stuck too much and turned kind of mushy! Still very tasty though, and something I'd like to perfect.

    Gorgeous dish. I had shop bought Alioli ( I live in Spain) and added the lemon and mint - and have since used this alioli with other dishes, its lovely and zingy.. We ate this as a supper dish as we have our main meal at Lunchtime and it was perfect.

    Lovely dish and fairly easy to put together. Would have loved more of it. I should have added more side dish, but added some bagged salad, which did go very well. Just want a bit more!

    Lovely easy recipe which I served with Broccoli to make it a slightly bigger meal. My other half said it was so good he'd love to see it on a restaurant menu :)

    Not for me - the salmon was ok but the rosti was a failure, greasy and mushy in the middle, I found it quite unpleasant. I assume the size and type of potato used makes a difference to the finished product and I must have got it wrong.

    Love this recipe - the balance of flavours is perfect - but you need to double the quantities to feed two. The alioli is gorgeous (who knew it was so easy tomake?!) and I make it to go with lots of dishes - it's very nice with grilled lamb, and you could vary the herbs for different meats (tarragon for chicken maybe?).
