Delish Fish
in
Scotland
Regular Lavender and Lovage readers will know that I love fish and seafood, and especially when it is from my favourite on-line fishmonger, Delish Fish; it’s been a while since I’ve featured fish as an ingredient, and also John’s fish from Delish Fish too, so, in today’s post “Don’t wait for Fishy Friday! Hot Smoked Salmon”, I’m showcasing some delicious Hot Smoked Salmon that I was sent recently, as well as some recipe ideas of how to enjoy this luxurious, healthy and tasty fish.
As part of a new “blogger programme” with Delish Fish, I was sent the following hot smoked salmon a few days ago:
2 x Limited Edition Mustard Hot Smoked Salmon
2 x Thai Chilli Hot Smoked Salmon
2 x Drambuie and Orange Hot Smoked Salmon
2 x Honey Roast Hot Smoked Salmon
(This previously won Best New Product in the Grampian Food Awards)
2 x Fresh Salmon fillets
Today’s serving and recipe ideas are for the Limited Edition Mustard Hot Smoked Salmon and the Drambuie and Orange Hot Smoked Salmon; so, what is Hot Smoked Salmon? Well, unlike cold smoked salmon, it is hot smoked and therefore cooked once it has been smoked. John at Delish Fish is a bit of a smoking wizard when it comes to hot smoking, and his hot smoked salmon has won awards as well as being one of his top sellers.
Hot Smoked Sarnie of Distinction:
The Limited Edition Mustard Hot Smoked Salmon is made to a secret recipe, and is then hot smoked ready to eat either cold or hot. I decided to serve mine simply as a sandwich, but also as a hot sandwich; so, I baked one of the fillets in the oven for 10 minutes at 180C and then placed it in a white ciabatta roll with salad leaves, cress, pickled cucumber and some fruity chutney – eh voila, a Hot Smoked Sarnie of distinction! I served some crisps and extra salad leaves on the side, and it made a delicious and filling luncheon dish. (One fillet makes two sandwiches)
Simple Hot Smoked Salmon Supper:
The hot smoked salmon with mustard was so tasty, that I didn’t feel it needed any more cooking to serve it, similarly I also served the Drambuie and Orange Hot Smoked Salmon with Buttered Mint and Chive New Potatoes and Garlic Nutmeg Spinach, for the most amazing supper dish. Although you can served the hot smoked salmon cold, as it is already cooked as I mentioned before, it’s easily heated up by baking it in an oven for 10 to 15 minutes, covered is best, to stop it drying out. (Two salmon fillets served three of us with ease)
Other recipes and ideas for serving Hot Smoked Salmon are as follows:

At Delish Fish they really believe in their products, and that shows in the quality. Their family run business is situated in Peterhead in Scotland, with a fish market right on their doorstep. Every morning Robert heads to the market at 6am to buy the fish for all of their customers, which is taken straight back to to the shop where it is processed straight away; for example, the hot smoked salmon is filleted then smoked before being packed it individual labelled packs ready for dispatch. Delish Fish prides themselves on how fresh the fish is, and they’ve even developed a way of packaging the fish to ensure that it gets to you as fresh as possible.
I’ve been using Delish Fish for over four years now, and it’s the only on-line fishmonger I trust! Their new range of Hot Smoked Salmon is amazing and you can choose from all the flavours above, as well as rum infused hot smoked salmon and limited edition flavours depending on the time of year and the season. I’m creating some new serving ideas and recipes with the rest of my hot smoked salmon hamper of the next few weeks, so please do pop back to see what I’ve created! Karen

Wow so much insoiration in one post. I love Delish Fish too. I love the 5:2 options too, great for anyone trying to follow the 5:2 diet or just general healthy eating.

Karen Burns-Booth says
Thanks Jo – it’s not hard to make this salmon look good, and it tastes wonderful too! Karen
Sheri says
Looks amazing and I am sure it tastes just as good! Scrumptious food. When fish and sea food is made the way it should be then it is so yummy just like what you have displayed in your pictures. I have tasted some seafood that was not so great. So glad you included recipes too. The hard part is getting it to look this great!
Karen Burns-Booth says
Thank you so much Sheri! I am so pleased that you found my smoked salmon recipes helpful and inspirational and I am sure you can dish up a meal as good (if not better) as some of the ones I have shared today! Karen
Rachel says
Smoked salmon is so good, but I’ve never tried it hot! Id love to try this sometime because I only really like salmon with flavor on it!!

Karen Burns-Booth says
Thanks Danjuma, I think that quality fish like this needs little embellishment!
Swayam Tiwari says
Though, I am a vegetarian, I must say that the way you presented the information would have made a lot of people salivate. Where do you get the salmon from, Karen? Is it farm fresh or canned? I am sure the North Sea would be a good source of fish such as salmon?
Karen Burns-Booth says
Thanks so much Swayam – yes, this is a very lovely way of enjoying hot smoked salmon! The salmon is wild Atlantic salmon and is top quality. Karen

I ADORE Hot Smoked Salmon. Way better than ordinary smoked salmon (although that’s pretty good too). It’s a favourite, particularly at Christmas in my house!
