Been given a heap of smoked salmon fillets but now what to do with them impart from crackers and sour cream and salmon - ideas please. I don't like the idea of eating salmon normally but have fallen in love with smoked salmon to my luck!!

Smoked Salmon & Potato Salad
Serves 4
enough smoked salmon for 4 750g young waxy-fleshed potatoes 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil a good handful flat-leaf parsley a lemon, grated zest and juice 6 tbsp freshly grated parmesan
Wash the potatoes and rub well with your thumb to remove any loose flakes of skin. Steam for 10-20 minutes or so until tender, checking them with a skewer regularly. Meanwhile, make the dressing by whisking together the oil, chopped parsley and lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper. Put the parmesan in a single layer on a baking sheet. Get an overhead grill hot, then let the cheese cook under it till pale gold. (Keep an eye on it – at first it will take ages then suddenly it will brown in seconds.) Remove potatoes from the heat and slice each one in half lengthways. Toss gently in the lemon and parsley dressing then dust with the grated, toasted parmesan. Serve with the salmon.

Is it wood smoked? If so, I have a great recipe for a salmon and orzo dish which is a favourite in our house.

Salmon & Orzo Salad.
We have this often as it s quick and easy to prepare when I am late home. I usually dont bother with the peas and i dont always add the snipped dill. I use the wood smoked salmon with the pepper/chilli on the top wich is a nice addition. Yu can buy the "sproutman" baby spinach leaves in a bag from most supermarkets. I also add more lemon zest for our taste.
1 cup orzo, cooked 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt 1/2 cup fresh or frozen peas, cooked 1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill Grated rind 1 lemon 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley 2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 cups baby spinach leaves 200g hot-smoked salmon, broken into chunks
Place the orzo in a bowl and add the salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Fold through the peas, dill, lemon rind and parsley. Drizzle in the olive oil and lemon juice and gently toss everything together. Add the spinach and salmon and fold them through. Serve in bowls.

Just follow the instructions on th packet. I add a little olive oil and salt to the water, so it does not stick together. Boil and taste it, you want it al dente not mushy.

My absolute favourite is smoked salmon pizza - make or buy bases and top with red onion, smoked salmon, spring onions, cubed cream cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic, cracked pepper and a bit of caesar sauce if you like.
