Salmon Pudding

Finding family friendly quick, nutritious, weekday dinners can be a challenge — this salmon pudding with Italian flavors is a favorite in our home! I use ASC labelled smoked salmon — a safe choice for both the ocean and our future. The ASC label guarantees responsibly farmed fish and seafood, we can feel confident that our choice is good for both our kids and the planet. 

Instead of traditional dill, we’ve chosen to use pesto in this recipe. We’ve also added a bit of Parmesan on top — a quick and tasty way to enhance the delicious flavor of cold-smoked salmon. 

This dish is quick enough for weeknights and so simple that the kids can help out! Turn on the oven, prepare the ingredients, and serve a sustainable dinner everyone enjoys! 

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan) or 225°C (top and bottom heat).
2. Peel and boil the potatoes in salted water until soft. Let cool, then slice thinly.
3. Peel and slice the onions. Sauté the onions in butter for about 10 minutes until soft. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Grease a baking dish (approx 20×25 cm). Layer potatoes, onions, and salmon slices in the dish.
5. Whisk together eggs, cream, crème fraîche, pesto, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
6. Pour the egg mixture over the potato, onion, and salmon layers.
7. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan on top.
8. Bake in the oven for about 35–40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
9. Serve with melted or browned butter. 

 Enjoy a simple, flavorful, and sustainable family dinner!
