Smoked salmon and Parmesan cheese muffin recipe

 

This baked smoked salmon recipe is simply delicious – and incredibly quick and easy to make.

 

Serves 6

 

Ingredients

 

• 200g John Ross Jr Traditional Smoked Salmon
• 200g self raising flour
• 200ml semi skimmed milk
• 100g Parmesan cheese
• 1 x egg
• 20g crème fraiche
• A pinch of salt
• A pinch of black pepper

 

Method

 

Preheat your oven to 180°C. As it’s heating, cut the smoked salmon into small squares and grate the cheese. In a bowl, whisk the egg and crème fraiche before slowly combining the flour, salt and pepper. When blended, add the smoked salmon and cheese. When everything has been thoroughly combined, share the mixture into six muffin moulds and bake for 10 – 15 minutes. When ready, take out of the oven, place on a wire rack and leave to cool before eating. We’d recommend that you eat these slightly warm.

 

Savoury smoked salmon cake

 

Another baked smoked salmon recipe winner – and a savoury dish that’s perfect for snacks. Cakes don’t have to be all about the sugar, after all.

 

Serves 12

 

Ingredients

 

• 100g John Ross Jr Traditional Smoked Salmon
• Handful of finely chopped dill
• 100g grated mature cheddar
• 3 x eggs
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 100ml milk
• 5 cups of self raising flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• Salt and pepper (to taste)

 

Method

 

Preheat your oven to 180°C.

 

Grab a large bowl and whisk the eggs before adding the oil and milk. Whisk until thoroughly combined and then add the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt and pepper (optional). Whisk until you have a smooth mixture and then add the smoked salmon, cheese and dill. Whisk once more until fully combined.

 

Take a loaf pan, line it with butter and then pour in the mixture before baking for 40 minutes.

 

Delicious rye soda bread recipe

 

This one, which we’ve learned from Jamie Oliver, is less about baking in the smoked salmon and more about creating a delicious bread that can go with any type of smoked salmon topping – and be eaten with as much of it as you like!

 

It’s also really healthy and filling, too.

 

Serves 6

 

Ingredients

 

• 250g wholemeal flour
• 300g of natural yoghurt
• 100g rye flour
• 50g porridge oats
• 1 x tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 1 x egg

 

Method

 

Preheat your oven to 190°C.

 

Mix both flours, the oats, the bicarbonate of soda and one level teaspoon of salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and yoghurt before stirring it into the bowl of flour and oats. Bring the mixture together using your lightly floured hands.

 

When combined, shape into a ball, place on a floured baking tray and press down so that it becomes a 3cm thick disc. Score a cross into the top and then bake in the centre of the oven for around 40 minutes. When a crust has formed place on a wire rack to cool.
