This is an easy-peasy recipe.... ready to eat in less than 20 minutes, it's nutritious and low calorie. Oh and of course it's delicious or it wouldn't be on my website. I've played around with the flavours a bit, to bring it up to just how I like it.

Salmon, Spinach and Leek Quiche, it's low in calories and carbs and is delicious
This low calorie Salmon and Leek Quiche will be perfect to enjoy over Easter, to balance out all of the other delicious chocolate treats which will be on offer. It can be eaten hot from the oven with a large leafy salad, or as a cold healthy lunch. You can also add some extra vegetables if you wish.

Salmon Rissoles with a delicious Herb and Spiced Yoghurt Dressing
Call them Salmon rissoles, fish cakes, fish rissoles, or salmon cakes, they've been called all of these names over the years, because this is a retro recipe which I've been eating as long as I can remember. I've revamped these with a few optional ingredients, but the basic combination of mashed potato, beaten egg, flour, breadcrumbs and tinned red salmon remains the same.

Hot Smoked Salmon Kedgeree
On Sunday we ate this dish of hot smoked fish fillets and spiced rice for lunch, however it is also perfect eaten for breakfast with the addition of softish boiled eggs. Or you can take it up a notch for an easy Sunday night dinner by adding some thawed frozen peas, some more spice or curry powder if you like, and serve it with mango chutney or a relish. Easy peasy! It's a riff on my Friday Night Special, which is a family favourite, still very fishy, and is made on canned tuna or salmon.

Salmon Fillet with a Finger Lime Caviar, Almond, Dill and Caper Sauce
Native Finger limes are in season and when I was given some from our local Farmers market by a very generous friend, I had to use them. Once picked, these Australian indigenous rainforest fruits are quite perishable, and the tree doesn't yield fruit for very long either, so they are a very precious commodity.
