Tried this. Looked good in the dish but fell apart on serving however it tasted delicious. I added chopped parsley to the salmon and a spoonful of horseradish sauce to the creme fraiche. I topped it off with baby tomatoes before grilling. Family enjoyed it.

We really really enjoyed this dish. I adapted it to suit an adult and 2 little girls. I used 2 salmon fillets as i had no tinned in and added sweetcorn for extra veg, i imagine mushrooms would be a delicious addition! Reduced the potatoes to 400g, the creme fraiche to 150ml as i didn't need to serve 4.

easy and very tasty but impressive. I have made this many times from the take 5 ingredients booklet and it never fails. Have been asked for the recipe so looked it up to print out.

Really nice and easy. I don't like tinned salmon so I used fillets and pan fried them in butter first, then added them to the recipie. I also don't like overcooked peas so I served them on the side. It was delicious. A good one for those of us with children who don't like exotic tastes.
