Layered Thermomix Salmon Dinner

Do you like a creamy mash? Oh hello!! This is so indulgent but it is so worth the calories!! Winner, winner salmon dinner! Plus it is super easy!!

So this might be a silly question but how do you get your mash so creamy? Add cream to it of course!! Oh & use a Thermomix!! If I want to be super decadent I replace the milk with cream in the guided recipe for mashed potato. (if you choose this option you can sometimes get a slight coating on the base of the Thermomix bowl which will need a bit of a scrub but it is so worth it!) My favourite cream to use is Tasmanian Ashgrove cream. I am lucky that they sell large 2 litre containers of this close to where I live, perfect for making butter in the Thermomix too.

Feel free to use any veggies you like for the mash or steamed veggies here are my top suggestions.

My favourite mash or puree’ veggies are either just a single one of these veggies or mix a couple together. Try floury potatoes or sweet potatoes (I don’t even bother peeling them) Or cauliflower, pumpkin or parsnip.

Eat your greens – try any or all of the following:

Frozen peas – you can even blitz these to make into mushy peas instead of serving the mash if you want.

Try zucchinis, broccoli, broccolini, boc choy or asparagus.

Now last but not least the salmon – I love fresh dill & salt & pepper but you can add garlic, lemon zest, chives or capers.

I hope you have fun mixing it up – trying different combos depending on what is in season or you have available to you at the time.
