It's been a busy few days with little time for trying out new recipes. I did cook but relied on our trusted favourites - sometimes you just need the comfort of knowing exactly what ends up on your plate :-) It's almost like spending time with old friends - no need to explain anything, just enjoying the company. So we had sausages with homemade coleslaw and baked potatoes, savoury mince with rice and peas and stuff like that - easy & yummy at the same time.
One of the dishes I did make that I want to share with you is this fish dish: salmon wrapped in pancetta (a very thinly sliced bacon). I love how the pancetta goes all crispy and the fish stays lovely and moist! We had this with a creamy dill sauce and served mine with pasta and Mr Happy Larder's with crispy potato cubes - both worked equally well and with a handful of mangetout on the side made a tasty and complete meal. The wrapped salmon does also work really well with potato gratin (you can find the recipe here) and you can also add herbs before wrapping up the pancetta...sage leaves are great for this but why not try basil for a change? I hope you will love this dish as much as we do.
Have a wonderful weekend! I will spend my time trying out a few new recipes, so I will have plenty to share with you coming up to Easter :-)
