Does anyone know where I can get salmon like that used on the show and in the picture? I know I've HAD salmon like that, and here in the midwest. But the three grocery stores I've checked all have something that looks like a brick I might feed the cat. Mail-order would be preferred, I think, since I'm on the Kansas/Missouri border - and hubby will only eat wild salmon. Thanks! Oh - I almost forgot. We tried the recipe and topped it with a dollop of the brick-like smoked salmon. The taste was good but the texture was all wrong. Again, I'm 100% certain due to the salmon. I truly think you can't go wrong with this and once you've tried it you'll see there are so many ways to make it your own. I think we're going to try something with wasabi next...




So easy and ridiculously good!

Had a surprise dinner to cook for and raided the pantry to make something for an appetizer. This was it--a HUGE hit, looks harder than it is, and very tasty. I've found in the past that I can find the thin-cut smoked salmon in/around the deli area of our Giant supermarket.




Salt? Cream

I made these exactly as stated but they came up a little bland... So I now know that the pancakes NEED some salt. Also, on the actual show Nigella makes a creme to go between the pancakes ans the salmon... this is not mentioned here... maybe in her book it is. So I taped it and got the measurements so the Cream Mixture is 1 teaspoon of horseradish (not hot) to 1 cup of sour cream.




Easy, and always a hit

I've made these 3x now, and everyone couldn't stop eating them. They look fancy, but anyone can make them. To Dana in the midwest-- I've bought my smoked salmon at Walmart or Kroger in the fresh seafood section. A salmon brick won't do-- I agree! Good luck!

I have made them many times since I saw the show. I have gotten great responses from guests. I could not get the smoked salmon one time and instead topped each one with herb cream cheese and a sun dried tomatoe. The guests could not stop eating them. The use of the instant potato is just the best. Thanks
