Salmon and prawns for tea....whats the best way to cook it???

[psychomum5]

Exactly what I have asked......what is the best way?
Oven/micro/steam?

[MarsLady]

Just follow Annabel Karmel's recipe for creamy seafood. Yummy.

Or ..... steam!

[PuffTheMagicDragon]

I vote for steam

[noddyholder]

wrap in foil with olive oil lemon juice and black pepper and stick in the oven for 15 mins yum

[psychomum5]

And where would I find Annabel Karmels fab sounding recipe???

[psychomum5]

Wrapped in foil sounds good and easy.....can I bung the prawns in too??

[MarsLady]

either in Feeding Your Baby & Toddler..........

[psychomum5]

How long do I steam for if I go with that option??

[noddyholder]

yes put it all in together

[PuffTheMagicDragon]

Depends on size of the pieces of salmon, but I usually check after 5 mins as salmon cooks surprisingly quickly that way.

[psychomum5]

They are filleted chunks about the size of my fingerless palm! (And I take a medium glove)

[MarsLady]

or here.....

1/2 pint milk
3 peppercorns
bay leaf
1oz butter
small onion, chopped
2 tbsp flour
1oz frozen peas


Put salmon in shallow pan with milk, peppercorns and herbs. Bring to boil, cover and simmer for 5 mins or until fish cooked and flakes easily. Remove fish with slotted spoon. Strain milk and reserve. Warm butter in a small pan. Add the onion and saute until just softened. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 min. Gradually add the strained milk, stirring until sauce thickened. Add fish, peas and prawns. Heat through. You can stir in grated cheese 1oz and season to taste.

Yummy yummy yum!

No pressure but the entire Marslet family love that recipe, from the DTs to the DH

[PuffTheMagicDragon]

The Annabel Karmel recipe is yummy

[MarsLady]

She says that you can freeze it!

[psychomum5]

Even better Now I can make some for me for when DH is away.....

[psychomum5]

Thanks ladies for the fab suggestions but after asking DH he wants to go with marslady's suggestion....

Means I get to cook up extra for me for when he is away, cos that is normally when I go with the kiddies leftovers thro sheer exhaustion!!!
