Ingredients

  • Salmon Fillets
  • Raw Prawns
  • Peas

  • Garlic
  • Dill 
  • Milk
  • Flour

  • Bought in Cheddar Mash (Cx Cheat!)

Method

Fry Red Onion and Garlic until soft.  

Add milk and when warm, add salmon fillets.
  
When salmon is half cooked, remove from pan and place in oven proof dish and break into smaller pieces. Also add in the Prawns, Sweetcorn and Peas.
 
In another pan, melt butter, add flour then gradually add milk, onions and garlic (or if you're impatient like me, add flour and butter to milk then liquidize).  Add dill to sauce.  

Add sauce to the ingredients in the oven proof dish and mix.

Spoon mash on top 

Bake in oven for 25-30 mins until potato is browned.

Welcome!

Thanks for visiting my blog.

OK, so the way I see it, cooking is one of those skills that just comes from within. Something you can learn yes, but it's also a mixture of knowing what works, how you like your food and how you were brought up around food.  


I look at recipes for inspiration, but usually just end up doing it my way and concocting an even more delicious version.  Knowing what quantities of food to use and knowing when things are cooked to perfection are important qualities of a guesstimate chef.

I don't want to sound all big headed about food as I have made my mistakes too and can always see ways I could have improved on a dish, but I'm really good at cooking a great meal.  Yes, sometimes I cheat and use shop bought stuff but sometimes you just want something quick and easy to make.
  
I'd like to share with you some of my recipes and if you're good at guesstimating how much of everything to use you can make you're own inspirational meals.
