Creamy Salmon Leek Potato Traybake Recipes

CREAMY LEEK & SALMON TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan. Wash and half the bigger baby potatoes. Toss them with 1 tbsp of olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning in a baking tray. I like to line my tray with non-stick baking paper.
• Place in the oven and bake for 20min tossing halfway through.
• Meanwhile, slice in half and chop leeks. Give them a wash in a colander and drain the water well. Cook in a deep pan with 1 tbsp of olive oil for 10min. Then add cream, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 crushed garlic clove, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Prepare your fish. Use the knife to cut 3 small pockets than place the garlic slices inside. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper. Place half of the fresh lemon on top of each piece of fish.
• Take the potatoes out of the oven and make space in the middle of the tray. Place leeks and top them up with prepared salmon fillets.
• Place in the oven and bake for 7 to 8 min or until just cooked through. Enjoy with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a side salad, if you like.

CREAMY SALMON, LEEK & POTATO TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bring a medium pan of water to the boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 8 mins. Drain and leave to steam-dry in a colander for a few minutes. Toss the potatoes with ½ of the oil and plenty of seasoning in a baking tray. Put in the oven for 20 mins, tossing halfway through the cooking time.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the leek and fry for 5 mins, or until beginning to soften. Stir through the garlic for 1 min, then add the cream, capers and 75ml hot water, then bring to the boil. Stir through the chives.
• Heat the grill to high. Pour the creamy leek mixture over the potatoes, then sit the salmon fillets on top. Grill for 7-8 mins, or until just cooked through. Serve topped with extra chives and capers and a salad on the side, if you like.

LEEK, POTATO & BACON BAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Put the stock in a large pan, bring to the boil, then add the potatoes and the leeks. Bring back to the boil for 5 mins, then drain well, reserving the stock in a jug.
• Meanwhile, butter a large baking dish. Layer up the potatoes and leeks higgledypiggledy, seasoning as you go, then scatter the bacon over the top. Season well, pour over 200ml of the reserved stock, then spoon over the cream (if using) and cover with foil. Can be made up to 1 day ahead and chilled. Bake for 40 mins, uncovering halfway through so that the bacon crisps.
