Salmon Dill Mashed-potato Medley

Ingredients:

1 pound salmon filets
1 cup fresh dill (dill is strongly flavored, so adjust quantity
according to taste)
3 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 teaspoon butter (optional)
1 cup of mashed potatoes
1/2 cup skim or 1% lowfat milk
salt and pepper to taste


Mix the canola oil and butter to homogenate them. Place this mixture
in a pan and use it to cook the salmon. Cook the salmon in the
pan on medium heat. Do not burn or brown the salmon, but leave it
a bright pink color. Chop up the salmon in the pan so that it cooks
more quickly, allowing the insides to cook before the outsides start to
brown. After two minutes of cooking, add the dill and mix the dill
into the salmon and keep cooking until the salmon is fully cooked.
Then add in the milk and mashed potatoes, cook another minute to heat
the mixture evenly, and add salt and pepper to taste. Mix the dill
thoroughly and evenly into the medley.

Have you tried salmon and potatoes together, even added to mashed
potatoes they can be quite good.

However, from a person with a nom de net like "projectile vomit chick'
one does not expect a great deal of aesthetic sensitivity.

Mashed potatoes are sometimes used as filler for salmon patties. Using
canned salmon with dill and lemon and a little onion, form cakes,
chill, then fry. Or bread the cakes and then fry. The recipe as given
starts with fresh salmon, which usually warrants better treatment, then
ends up making what amounts to the patty mixture by chopping and
stirring it around in the pan till all cooked. Not very attractive to
me, but de gustibus and all that.... -aem

A classic recipe along these lines is salmon boxty. It will be
on the menu at Irish pubs. I generally use leftover, previously
cooked salmon for this, which I mix with mashed potatoes and
whatever other ingredients I'm including (green onions, black
pepper, etc.) and then re-fry in olive oil. Unless you screw
it up somehow, it's quite good. Using a good, fresh
piece of salmon in this fashion does seem a bit of a waste.

Same thoughts here, it would be a good recipe for leftover salmon.

I agree. I'd use leftovers. Mom used to bake a salmon and
mashed potato mixture and serve it topped with hollandaise
sauce--or mock hollandaise sauce, with is not so butter-laden
(for those of you who care about such things).
