Salmon Fillet Wraps with Horseradish Cream and Sal...
While talking to my mum over the holidays she happened to mention the lunch she made for New Years Day. The very mention of salmon wraps with horseradish cream got my mouth watering and my tummy rumbling. They sounded so good that I was determined to give them a try and today was the day! So here I am sitting at my desk with a very happy and full belly!
I don’t know the precise recipe she used but this is my version of the dish. I used a recipe by Mary Cadogan as a base for the horseradish cream. In a previous post I actually made her original recipe for smoked salmon with prawns, horseradish cream & lime vinaigrette which was sensational!
So if you want an elegant tasty lunch give these wraps a go!
Luna Raye’s Salmon Fillet Wraps with Horseradish Cream and Salad
(This recipe will serve 2-3 allowing approximately 2 wraps per person.)
Ingredients
3 Scottish salmon fillets
¼ Spanish onion roughly chopped
1 cup vegetable stock (I love to use Marigold Swiss vegetable bouillon powder )
4 Tablespoons crème fraiche
2 Tablespoons horseradish (or to taste)
Squeeze of fresh lime
Salt and pepper to taste
Selection of salad leaves
2 Tablespoons freshly chopped parsley (optional but I love it!)
1 packet of ready made Deli wraps (I like to use Mission Deli wraps)
Directions
Poach the salmon fillets in the vegetable stock and add ¼ chopped Spanish onion.
Once cooked set the fillets aside and gently flake them.
Turn the oven on to gently heat the wraps.
To make the horseradish cream, add the crème fraiche and horseradish to a bowl and blend well with a fork.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper and a squeeze of lime juice.
When making the horseradish cream it’s important to keep tasting as you go along. How strong you want the cream is a personal thing!
Once the cream is made (about 5 minutes) you can start putting the wraps in the oven to gently warm them.
Don’t overheat them as this makes them go crunchy and difficult (actually impossible) to roll!
Once warmed through put them on a plate and begin assembling your delicious wrap!
Add some horseradish cream, a pinch of fresh parsley, some flaked salmon and a small bunch of salad leaves.
Roll and enjoy!
