Honey Mustard Salmon Salad

Hey everyone! It was so warm yesterday I really fancied a cold salad so I created this delicious salmon salad with a honey mustard dressing. It was served slightly warm and was soooo delicious. You could also have served it up cold if you wanted to.

I used fresh scottish salmon, wild salamon would be best but its quite tricky to get here. The potatoes were boiled then fried in a little butter and the salad was dressed with a simple dressing of yuzu mustard and raw honey. You could use any honey and plain mustard if you wish. It was so delicious!

The yuzu mustard was gifted to me from one of my favourite suppliers of wasabi and yuzu products. I’m just about to put another order in for their products but please check out their link below they are a lovely business and the products are soooo good! You can even grow your own wasabi plant! How cool!

Honey Mustard Salmon Salad

I’ve not added quantities to this recipe because it depends how many people you are feeding. Its very easy to follow without quantities and adjust to your needs. Please just make enough for your own requirements and mix and match the salad item quantities to suit your own tastes.

cubed potatoes

butter

salt and pepper

sliced cucumber

sliced radishes

thinely sliced fennel

sliced spring onions

apple cider vinegar

olive oil

lemon juice

whole salmon piece (we cooked enough for four)

onions

garlic

raw honey

yuzu mustard (or djon mustard)

Start by adding some sliced onions and garlic to a deep casserole dish and dot a little butter around the top. Place the salmon on top of the sliced onion and bake in the oven on a moderate heat for about 20-30minutes until cooked through.

Meanwhile boil the cubed potatoes for about 10 minutes and drain. Heat up a small amount of butter in a cast iron pan and fry the potatoes gently until cooked through.

Add the sliced cucumber, sliced radishes, sliced spring onions and sliced fennel to a bowl and a sprinkle of fresh herbs should you wish. Add in a splash of apple cider vinegar, a sqeueeze of lemon and a drizzle of olive oil. Adjust seasoning to your tastes

Serve up the potatoes as a base, spread some salad on top and flake the salmon on top of the salad. Serve the cooked onions from the base of the casserole dish on top of the salmon and finish with some extra chopped spring onions.

Mix together equal parts of mustard and honey and dot all over the food. Serve and enjoy!

Summer Strawberry Fruit Sponge

Easy Salmon Breakfast

As I mentioned in my recent vlog I love a smoothie in the summer months for breakfast but at the weekend I like to take a bit more time to create something special. This is one of my favourite weekend recipes and the kids love it. The full recipe is below but you can also watch it in my first Wee Larder kitchen vlog on youtube. The video is below.

This super easy breakfast is made with delicious Scottish smoked salmon, mashed ripe avocados, crunchy sourdough toast and a delicious fresh runny egg with a sprinkling of herbs on top. It doesnt take long to prepare and you can get the kids helping by each taking care of a part of the food prep.

Smoked Salmon & Avocado Toasts

Scottish smoked salmon slices (1 slice per serving)

1 avocado

Lime

eggs (1 each)

sourdough loaf

coriander

Start by slicing up the appropiate amount of sices of sourdough or other fresh bread. I use one chunky slice per person. Toast the slices lightly under the grill or in the gridle pan

Mash up the avocado with the juice of one lime, season with salt and pepper and set aside.

Fry up eggs how you like them in a little butter, coconut oil or other preferred fat.

Spread the mashed avocado onto the toasted sourdough and lay teh salmon on top. Top with the egg and herbs and serve.

Sweet Potato & Chicken Enchiladas

These are absolutely delicious and if you use a little chicken in the wraps they are surprisingly light. A great recipe to eat and use less meat but with all the flavour! The kids loved them and they were gone in an instant. They even ate all the vegetables inside, peppers, onions and spinach lol! I may cook a huge variety of meals but my kids are still fussy vegetable eaters at heart so this recipe was definitely a win on the vegetable front.
