Creamy mustard salmon with potato rosti

For something a little special for dinner, make this creamy mustard salmon with potato rosti recipe. Cook salmon in a rich cream, mustard and spinach sauce, then serve with crispy potato rostis and peas – perfect for easy entertaining or feeding the family.

  1. Melt the butter in a large, deep frying pan. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min, then pour in the stock and simmer until reduced by half.
  2. Add the frozen spinach and cook for 5 mins until piping hot. Stir in the cream, Dijon mustard and season well. Add the salmon to the pan and cook in the sauce for 5-10 mins until the sauce is slightly reduced and the salmon is cooked through.
  3. For the potato rosti, peel and coarsely grate the potatoes. Place in a large bowl with the chopped onion, flour and thyme leaves and season well. Take 2 tbsp of the mix at a time and use your hands to form small flat patties.
  4. Melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the potato rosti for 3 mins on each side until golden and crisp. Transfer to a baking tray and bake for 10 mins to cook through.
  5. Boil the peas for 2 mins until tender. To serve, sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve with the peas and potato rostis.
