I’m ever so slightly late for Salmon Day – I blame the time
difference…
I had some smoked salmon offcuts, some eggs and potato, so
finished up with a kind of salmon fritatta.
Peel a medium potato and steam/boil for 10 mins or so until
it’s mostly cooked, and then dice.
Put the diced pots in an omelette/frying pan with a bit of
oil/butter and swish around to brown them a little.
Whisk four eggs with a couple of tbs of cream (I used sour
cream because that’s what I had). Add some salt/pepper and a big wack of dill.
I only had dried dill which worked fine, but fresh dill would be lovely.I also added a bit of finely pared lemon rind just because. Pour
the egg mixture over the potatoes, and top with your smoked salmon pieces. (The
original recipe for this which I saw many moons ago used hot smoked salmon,
which would be chunkier, but it works fine with normal thinly sliced smoked
salmon, or indeed with normal salmon flakes)
Cook the bottom for a few minutes, and then either put it under
the grill to cook the top or put it in the oven to finish baking if you’ve got
the oven on. Eggy, potato, salmony goodness.
You know, I've never thought to put smoked fish in a frittata. But this sounds great, and I bet I could do a smoked haddock/leek version - I have a delicious recipe for same as a gratin but it's always enormous and rather heavy. This would work much better!
ReplyDeleteIt really was good, and I just had the remainder for lunch today. It holds its shape well, so would be ideal picnic food as and when we are in a position to go for picnics!
DeleteSmoked haddock and leek would work wonderfully for sure, that's a great idea. I also have a recipe for cod and onion fritatta that I've never actually tried. I keep looking at it and then getting sidetracked, so I must try that - maybe this will be the week!
Looks delicious - stealing that idea for future reference.
ReplyDeleteExcellent :)
