Smoked salmon pancake recipes

 

Thin Crepes Stuffed with Smoked Salmon

Pancake Day is upon us and whilst many will still opt for a sprinkling of sugar with lemon juice, or reach out for the banana and chocolate spread, we believe that when it comes to pancakes, savoury is the new sweet.

 

Of course, we at John Ross Jr aren’t saying that sweet pancakes aren’t good – most of us are partial to the odd (and maybe not so odd) sugary treat but savoury pancakes not only make a meal in their own right, which means that parents can half their culinary workload by integrating it into dinner time, but they’re also incredibly tasty, too.

 

So, in true John Ross Jr blog tradition, we’ve rounded up our top two smoked salmon pancake dishes for your Shrove Tuesday satisfaction.

 

As always, we’d love to see what tasty treats you make this coming Tuesday (9th February) so share your recipes and images with us via our Facebook page.

 

  1. Tea smoked salmon and chive pancakes

 

With the perfect balance of flavours, this great recipe makes a healthy meal in less than 30 minutes.

 

Serves 3

 

Ingredients

 

  • 3 large handfuls of salad (one for each portion)
  • 6 slices of John Ross Jr’s Tea Smoked Salmon
  • 1 lemon cut in half
  • 4-5 chives – finely chopped
  • 50ml olive oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 70g plain flour
  • 1 tablespoon of wholegrain mustard
  • 125ml milk

 

Method

 

Firstly, get the dressing out of the way by mixing the mustard, oil and a dash of lemon juice in a bowl.

 

Then make the pancake mixture my mixing together the egg, milk, flour and, in this case, the chopped chives. Once prepared, make the pancakes as you would do normally until you’ve made all three pancakes.

 

Get your plates ready, garnish with the salad, fold the pancakes and place next to the greens before laying down a couple of smoked salmon slices over the pancakes and garnish. Season with salt and pepper (and a twist of lemon) as required.

 

  1. Whisky Smoked Salmon pancakes with Avocado and Rocket

 

Another easy to make and delicious recipe – after all, how can you go wrong with a pancake.

 

Serves 2

 

Ingredients

 

  • 55g plain flour
  • 1 small egg
  • 135ml milk
  • 1 teaspoon of olive oil
  • 200g John Ross Jr’s Whisky Smoked Salmon
  • 1 avocado (sliced)
  • 2 portions of rocket
  • 2 tablespoons crème fraiche
  • Chopped dill (to garnish)
  • 1 lime

 

Method

Mix the flour and a pinch of salt into a bowl along with the egg and milk. Mix until smooth. Place the olive oil in a heated pan and once hot, make the pancakes using your preferred technique.

 

Once cooked, place the pancakes on the plates and divide the pack of Whisky Smoked Salmon among them along with the sliced avocado and rocket. Add a dollop of crème fraiche to each plate, garnish with dill and serve with the fresh lime.
