Sushi Rolls with Smoked Salmon, Avocado & Cream Cheese Recipe

Sushi is the type of food that I feel like eating in the middle of the summer. Nothing more refreshing than some fresh fish and veggie sushi. I was watching Blade Runner, the classic 1982 movie, when I saw a scene where the protagonist is at a futuristic sushi bar. I got a strong urge to make it (not futuristic, but the contemporary kind.) Prep Time: 1 hour Cook Time: 20 mins Makes : 40 slices of sushi roll Ingredients: 250g sushi rice or short-grain rice 400 ml water 4 nori sheets, halved 100g smoked salmon ½ small avocado, thinly sliced 55g cream cheese soy sauce , to serve Instructions: 1.

Salmon & Tarragon with Tagliatelle Recipe

Cream is an ingredient that I have a tendency to keep away from when cooking. Okay, I have to make it clear that I say "when cooking," as cream used in a dessert will always get the thumbs up. It's partly due to the fact it is a greasy ingredient and it is viewed a bit 80's and indeed, pasta with cream and salmon is an 80's dish. However, it's not that everything about those roaring years to be considered thrown away. On the contrary, I invite you to try this recipe for an excellent ride into the past. After all, I lived through those years and every now and then I like to time warp my mind and reminisce on what a wonderful decade it was. In these moments I see myself as a infant interested in cartoons that, even from time to time with their crudeness, have taught our generation something about life. TV films that have remained in the collective imagination, music that has changed the vision of the world, fashion that has forever revolution...

Crispy Salmon Potato Cakes with Dill & Lime Mayonnaise: A Must-Try Recipe

If you think cooking lunch is as simple as boiling an egg, think again! Today, I dove into the deliciously fishy world of salmon potato cakes, a dish so good it’ll make you question why fish don’t take more lunches themselves. The secret? Simply mash together some cooked potatoes and canned salmon (who knew we had a tinned fish superstar on our hands?), add a sprinkle of dill, and mold it all into little cakes. Now, let’s talk about the pièce de résistance: lime mayonnaise! Just mix mayo, lime juice, and a zest of lime (because life's too short for plain mayo) to create a tangy condiment that’ll leave your taste buds doing the cha-cha. Slap those golden cakes on a plate with a dollop of lime mayo and watch your lunch transform into a culinary masterpiece! Trust me, skip the boring sandwich. These salmon potato cakes are fin-tastic and worth every giggle you get when your coworkers ask what you’re eating. Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Serves : 4 Ingredients ...
