The usual Spanish croqueta is made with jamon. These versions are made with smoked salmon. They work really well and would not go amiss on any tapas menu.

Salmon en croute are brilliant – part pie, part pastie, part Salmon Wellington – what’s not to like?

I’ve posted another recipe for fish taco using salmon. This versions has a developed sauce which is rather like a Mexican tartar sauce. I’ve also added street-style corn on the cob which is a perfect accompaniment.

Dad made these for my girlfriend and mum at the weekend. A very pleasant surprise before dinner — with caviar!
