Defrosted salmon fillets

[floofycroissant]

I've stupidly defrosted 4 salmon fillets whilst home alone for the weekend. Can I refreeze? Packet says no, Google search says yes.

Or do you have any good recipes beyond seasoning them? Otherwise the cat is going to have a very good weekend

If just roast then quickly, refrigerate them and then use up over the weekend in various dishes.

Squeeze lemon juice over them. Wrap them in foil. Bake for about 20 mins. Serve with pasta or leave to go cold and use them in a quiche or a salad.

Drizzle them with sweet chilli sauce and soy sauce. Add some grated ginger if you have some/want to. Roast in the oven until the top is bubbling and golden brown. Fine to serve hot or cold.

Or wrap in foil with a splash of white wine, some sliced lemon and dill or thyme or marjoram. Bake for 25 mins. Perfect served cold with salad, but also nice hot.

No problem at all! Cooked salmon is fine in the fridge for a day or so, or freeze. I often make extra and freeze the fillets. They are very handy to defrost for a salad.

Salmon en croute! Block of puff pastry, white sauce. Roll out pastry, spread a bit of white sauce on pastry, sprinkle dill on, place salmon on, more sauce, cover with more rolled out pastry and crimp round edges with fork. Wash with beaten egg, bake around 180 until pastry is golden.

Sprinkle with thai spices or anything you like and Bake. It goes crispy which is delish, or can be used cold in sandwiches on monday.

Fishy pasta, stirfry veg of your choice, add cubed salmon, don't stir too much if possible. Add cooked pasta, cream cheese and some of the pasta water so its not too claggy, salt,pepper, Add dill too if you like it!

Or make a parsley sauce and have with veg and mash in a fish pie?

Refreezing it once cooked is a great idea, never knew that. Thanks.

Just to add I'm not that keen on salmon and also pregnant, and the advice is to have 2 portions a week.

Will definitely be trying some of these suggestions.

Blob of pesto, wrap in Parma ham and bake . With mini poasted potatoes, broccoli and wilted spinach

Guess what I'm now having this evening! Thanks OP!

This is a great thread @OP thanks

Parma sounds delicious!

Spread the salmon steak with mild French mustard, mix together crushed pine nuts and chopped parsley and spread on top of the mustard. Cook for 20 - 25 mins in a foil parcel.

I would make a fish pie and then refreeze, you can refreeze fish if it has changed state

So equally you could just cook it and freeze it

I've gone for MissMarples suggestion, only using walnuts and with roasted tom and olive orzo. Will freeze --what I can get past the cat- the rest after cooking unseasoned. Thanks again
