Clearly, these flavours don't work for me.

Made it exactly as recipe. So easy and great flavours - the cottage cheese makes the topping light, which contrasts with the salmon, and the horseradish gives a touch of heat and depth. Will certainly do again - it could easily be tarted up to make an unusual starter.

Delicious and perfect for one! I think the salmon being wild and Alaskan really makes a difference to the flavour. I've been reading up on it and because it's wild, it's a leaner fish - so better for you and also has more nutrients and generally healthier and tastier. There are some great other Alaskan salmon recipes out there, plus a chance to even win some!! www.alaskaseafood.co.uk

Forgot to say, never have horseradish in so have never had it with that.

I tried it as per the recipe, and it was gorgeous! Great for using as a Weight Watchers meal; relatively low in Saturated Fat. No doubt I'll have it again and again......

Great for quick after - work meal or late holiday breakfast. Spinach salad does complement this dish. I would skip cheese and horseradish and use deseeded cucumber instead. A little bit of dijon mustard will do greatly.
