In a healthy eating daze I managed to buy a full side of salmon in tesco this weekend as it was half price, thinking I could just cut into fillets and freeze.
Now I'm wondering if I could do something a bit more exciting with it. I have an 8mo and a DH who prefers salmon in things or with bold flavours, rather than just a fillet.
Do you have any ideas as to what I could do with it please??

I don't have the exact recipe to hand but you could try wrapping the salmon in puff pastry with some chopped stem ginger. It sounds mad but is actuall v good- Google salmon and stem ginger and see if you can find someone a bit less vague

JO has a spicy baked salmon recipe in one of his 30 min meals that cooks the salmon in a mixture of chilli, ginger - you don't have to do all the broth as well.

A whole side is between 9 and 12 portions, you can wrap some in pastry as suggested above, boil it, bake it...

Chop and fry an onion
Slice a pepper or 3 and add to skillet
Add however many tomatoes you like, cut into eights
Add garlic powder (or chop and fry garlic with onions), salt, black pepper, a squeeze of lemon and some coriander.
Drop the salmon on top and cook until done (about 10 minutes)
Adani Salmon
Chop an onion into rings and fry
Chop in some chilli if you like that sort of thing

Arrange salmon fillets in a tin. Pour bubbling tomato sauce on top. Bake uncovered on gas mark 4 for 20 minutes.
