I seem to have accumulated a lot of frozen salmon.

I am starting to get bored with all the tomato and vegetable casserole type of recipes.

Has anyone got any suggestions for something nice for tea tonight (low gi please) that doesn't have a tomato in sight and might include salmon?

Also does anyone have any chorizo recipes other than chicken and chorizo casserole and chicken jambalaya?

thanks all🙂
 
My favourite way of cooking salmon is simple grilling under a moderate grill - personal preference to get a slight crust, rather than wrap in foil and bake in oven. As an extra treat for grileld salmon, my Mum discovered that patting dry mustard powder onto salmon steaks before grilling gave a lovely taste & texture, but obviously that assumes you like mustard / aren't allergic. Almost any veggies are good with salmon, but for a low GI meal, a small portion of new potatoes and / or carrots, as much as you want of leeks etc
 
We often steam our salmon and add some cheesy sauce.

The cheese sauce we use is definitely low GI, but it's probably not very good from a calories and saturates point of view 😱

Grilling salmon is definitely very nice 🙂

Thanks Copepod.

Mark - is the cheese sauce homemade? I am intrigued. If it is low gi - a little wouldn't hurt would it?

Maybe I could combine yours and copepods recipe.🙂
 
Homemade yes - Cheese, flour, butter/marg (flora in our case) and milk.

The fast carbs in the flour are swamped by butter and cheese. There are also some fast carbs in milk (lactose).

I'd have to go hunt the proportions down since I don't have my calculation notepad with me here.

I can't be 100% sure it's low GI of course because I haven't measured it by itself. But I've never spiked with it either.
 
my favourite way of doing salmon is to take straight from freezer and put on a foil-covered baking sheet and put in the oven for 20 to 25 mins and serve with fine green beans (I almost lived on this for 6 months when my gallbladder became infected and was waiting for my operation). and.... only the veggie pan to wash up!!! I'm sure other veg can be used instead or as well 🙂

when Mike was eating with me I did a roasting pan of mixed root veggies (carrots, parsnips, squash, potatoes, sweet potatoes) as well.... and I seemed to be fine with my BG levels after eating them ................... although you might think that roasted veg doesn't 'go' with salmon.......... we like it :D
 
Never tried mustard and cheese sauce with salmon, but could work really well - please report back, Lucy! 🙂

My partner often makes cauliflower cheese with grain mustard in the sauce - I can't make white sauce without lumps and he can't cook rice without it being too soggy, so we leave each other to it! Apart from that each of us can cook anything competently.
 
I never came back and told you - it turned ou to be salmon with celeriac mash and veg in the end! Very nice.🙂
