This recipe was handed down from my father's granny, to his mother who passed it on to my mum. Apparently, it's a fully authentic recipe, and because it's dead simple to make, I've included it here.
Ingredients:-
1 tin of salmon. A small tin of farmed pink will do. Obviously, if you're feeling 'flush', then red tastes even better.
Potatoes.
A knob of two of butter or margarine.
A splash of milk.
Method:-
You could peal the potatoes prior to boiling, but I prefer to leave them with their skins on. More vitamins in the skin, apparently.
Boil the potatoes until ready soft, drain the water, add butter and milk and mash well.
'Prep Up' the salmon by removing the skin and bones. Here's where ideally you should have a cat. It will love you forever after this.
Gently mix the salmon in with the mashed potatoes then gently ladle into a pre-greased oven-proof casserole dish.
Cook in a fairly high oven (~200C) for about an hour, or until the top of the pie browns nicely.
Serve with peas and white sauce, and if you're feeling 'arty', sprinkle a little fresh parsley on before serving.
Enjoy!
