Oven Baked Salmon Fillet with Mashed Potato and Wilted Spinach

Our recipe this week comes courtesy of Fisher’s Hotel in Pitlochry. I have been busy photographing at Fisher’s Hotel this week so was delighted when head chef Shaun Taylor kindly shared his recipe with me for this delicious fish dish.

Fisher’s Hotel is centrally located in Pitlochry and the restaurant within the hotel is so cosy with a real log fire and lovely views of the gardens. The menu which changes daily, showcases Perthshire’s finest produce.

This is a great recipe to try at home. It's straightforward to follow but is also super delicious and looks very impressive. Using a stainless steel ring to shape and plate up the spinach and potato is a brilliant idea for presenting your dish if you’re looking to impress. This dish is also light enough to serve for a tasty summer Sunday lunch.

Wickedly delicious and great with a chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

Enjoy

    I love a fillet of salmon; tasty, healthy and packed full of the good stuff, fish has been important in human nutrition since prehistoric times! 

    Of all the different types of fish, salmon has received the most praise for being a nutritional marvel. It is an excellent source of high-quality protein, vitamins and minerals (including potassium, selenium and vitamin B12) and has an amazing level of omega-3 fatty acids, essential for healthy brain function, a good heart, flexible joints and general wellbeing.
