Recipe: Indian Salmon Hash
This is a whacky combination of corned beef hash and bombay aloo... yet makes use of leftover poached salmon. It's thrown together in no time at all and when served straight to the table in the pan it makes for a rustic looking, but damn tasty midweek dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 medium sized baking potatoes
- 1 white onions
- 1 glug oil
- 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp curry powder
- 2 salmon fillets, poached
- 1 lemon
- 1 handful fresh coriander, chopped

Step 4
Add The Potatoes
Add the potatoes to the pan and stir to coat in the spices, then fry for a few more minutes. Break up some of the potatoes with the back of a fork.
Step 5
Flake The Salmon
