I noticed while shopping online as I was comparing prices for fresh salmon with Sainsbury’s that they had a product that was the offcuts from preparing their fillets costing £11.50 a kg. As a home cook that has regularly prepared whole salmons into fillets for the freezer I understood the process. The reviews were less than favourable complaining about bones and fins etc. And I thought how bad can this be? Only one way to find out, so ordered a pack.
This is what came for just over three of our English pounds.
So I skinned them and found two bones and one fin.
I have an extensive pantry and I decided on Sushi which was probably a bit daring for a Sunday, but I tasted the fish and it was still very fresh and three days in date. I’m sure it’s probably packed at the same time as the fillets. So I prepped for that and there was so much.
I used just over a third of this. I feel I could get a salmon quiche out of the leftovers. But I’ll probably have a simple egg fried rice with salmon.
Very well seasoned sushi rice with rice wine vinegar, sugar and salt. With salmon, spring onions and finely shredded iceberg.
Prepped up with a dipping sauce of Japanese soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and sesame oil.
Yum! The dogs and I shared as it defeated me at the end. I think this is a good purchase and I’ll be buying it again.

Making salmon fish cakes too is a great way for using these up. I’m not so keen on the thought of raw fish but they do look really beautiful, now if it was smoked salmon in the middle: Yum!

You could marinade/pickle it yourself. Fish cakes! Another brilliant idea Noelle. I can always rely on you to bring something to the table!

Now you will certainly have to tell me how you do that. I shall probably look it up too, what a great idea!

Ceviche, I love a Japanese influence. I’ve copied this for you. It’s delicious. You could do a simple version with white rice vinegar, soy and sugar.
It is the acid that cures the fish, but don’t leave it too long. Lots of different ideas for curing salmon on the net. Enjoy
Ceviche is a traditional Latin American dish featuring raw seafood that is marinated in lime or lemon juice. This ceviche draws inspiration from Japanese cuisine and features the fresh flavors of ginger and garlic. Fresh salmon is marinated in a ginger soy wasabi marinade and refrigerated before being served with pickled ginger, scallions, and black sesame seeds. A wonderful seafood dish for fish lovers and for lovers of Japanese cuisine
