A family favourite that even fussy eater D loves.
Ingredients*
For the filling:
1 Clove of garlic, crushed
1 Large leek, finely sliced (I actually prefer it thickly sliced)
1 Small onion (I use a red one) finely sliced
300g Skinless and boneless salmon fillets
Juice of one lemon
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh dill
100g peeled cooked prawns (the bigger the better)
For the topping:
4 Red potatoes
1 Small sweet potato
1 Knob of butter
2 tbsp creme fraiche
1/2 cup of milk
pinch of salt (yeah right)
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
2 tbsp chedder, grated
Method
1. Gentley fry the garlic, leek and onion until softened but not coloured. Meanwhile, put the salmon in a microwave dish, squeeze over half the lemon juice and grind over some black pepper. Microwave for approximately 1 and a 1/2 minutes.
2. Peel and chop the potatoes, then boil until soft enough to mash. Drain and mash together with the butter, creme fraiche, milk (which I don't actually use) and a pinch of salt.
3. Gentley flake the salmon and mix with the garlic, onion, leek, dill and prawns. Squeeze over the remaining lemon juice.
4. Divide the filling between two ovenproof dishes. Cover with mash, sprinkle with cheese and cook in the oven at 190C (375F, gas 5) for abpout 20 minutes.
5. After cooking, crisp the top under the grill.
*Now as with most recipes I tend to throw out the rules when it comes to measurements and the way you should slice, dice and chop things, especially when doing something like this, where you can push the boundaries a little. So as with most of the recipes that i post throw caution to the wind a break the rigid rules of measurements a little. I usually find that things taste better if you do this. I never stick to timings either I find them a complete and utter waste of time. Things take as long as they take
