If you want a lush main course, this is it!!
*DISCLAIMER* This is a very Tasmanian recipe and I am utterly biased. A) The contributor is my boss! B) I love her cooking. C) I love my job. and D) I love the way she's developed one recipe which shows off so many famous Tassie agricultural exports.
But I want you all to know how good this recipe is. Please try it yourself and tell me how you go with it.
It is intended for a whole big salmon and the fish itself can be roasted in the oven in its skin. (If I may discurse for a moment, our family has seen some HUMUNGOUS Tas salmon. When DD2 was being courted by a fellow who used to work at a salmon farm, he used to come visiting with salmon that seemed bigger than our table!)
If a Varoma-sized fish can be found, it turns out beautifully steamed. If you can only find fillets, it will still taste delicious, just won't have such visual impact on the table.
The Walnut Crumble is soooo good. It's one of those 3 seconds max jobs so don't overprocess.
Such a lovely contrast of texture begtween the mighty but tender fish, the piquant yoghurt sauce and the crunchy crumble topping.
5/5

Thanks for this review Cecilia. I'm keeping one of those sticky notes in the front of my book to keep track of those recipes already tried and recommended on the forum - and this one has been added. :D I love salmon! I doubt I'll have the opportunity for a whole fish - but glad to hear that fillets work just as well . . .

Hi Cecilia,
Thank you for the review of the Tasmanian Salmon with Yogurt Dressing recipe.
I tried it and I agree with you. It was delicious.

Thanks Cecilia. Do you think a whole side of salmon would work? My fishmonger sells a 'side' of salmon already pinboned and obviously the fish is headless and gutted. If I am making fillets for say a dinner party I usually just cut the flap of salmon into smaller fillets and any leftovers I make into gravlax. The size I get normally would fit into the Varoma and it still has skin on one side.

Dear Merlin, I'll pass your question on to the recipe contributor. At the cooking class, we were taught to remove the skin and grey part underneath before slathering with the yoghurt for serving. Thanks for the info. I will share and hopefully one of us will get back to you before long. :)

As I am allergic to fish & seafood, coukd this meal be made using chicken. I often use chicken to replace fish.

Am pleased to report that this recipe fits in the Dukan Diet. Guest looked through the recipe to approve it and said the nuts part would be a lttle treat but the fish and yoghurt were really good and she's looking forward to it.
