Salmon Yoghurt Spread
This lovely spread is a great flavour combination of cooked fish, yoghurt and citrusy juices. Perfect use of leftovers, and elevates a simple and quick lunch or breakfast!
What you learn at the hairdresser’s…
So I kind of stole this recipe - from a book I read at the hairdresser’s. They had a cookbook lying there among the gossip magazines! Yay! I was in heaven! I’m so sorry to not give proper credit, I didn’t take down the name of the book, but this particular recipe stuck in my head as I had an oven baked salmon fillet left over from the day before and tried this for lunch instantly when I came home. It was so delicious, and especially on a toasted, buttered bagel. Highly, highly recommended! I have of course, as with all recipes, made it my own - I looove dill and parsley with fish for example, so have added that as a recommended topping. Some people can’t stand it so I’ve left it as an “optional”!
Salmon Yoghurt Spread
Makes enough for 4 slices of toast/bagel
Time: Max 5 minutes (unless you have to cook the fish first)
1 baked/steamed (cold) salmon fillet (trout would be lovely too!)
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup of natural yoghurt (Greek style recommended for ultimate creaminess)
Juice from half a lime
A lemon wedge for extra juice on top!
Dill and/or parsley to top
So I am doing this as a “leftover” recipe, but if you need to cook the fish - do that first and then let it cool. You can oven bake it or steam it.
In a small to medium bowl, crush up the fish with a fork. Add some salt and pepper, and mix in the yoghurt, then the lime juice. Mix everything well.
For the most magical experience, toast 2 halved bagels and butter them, top them with the salmon spread and sprinkle some dill and parsley (or just one of the two) on top, then give a little squeeze of lemon, or serve the lemon wedge on the side.
This makes a super quick lunch so special and fancy! Enjoy!
