Bacon-wrapped Salmon – quick & simple!

Updated 23 February 2024 Published 8 January 2013 42 Comments

JUMP TO RECIPE

Bacon-wrapped Salmon with coriander is a really quick and tasty dish. Just serve with couscous and a salad for a great midweek meal!

Nigel Slater Kitchen Diaries II

Having had it drummed into me during Home Economics lessons that you should eat at least 2 portions of fish a week and one should be oily, I do try to stick to this!

Hence I usually cook Salmon or Trout once a week and was running out of new ways to serve it.

Then along came Nigel Slater’s Kitchen Diaries II to the rescue and the first recipe I made a beeline for was Bacon-wrapped Salmon. I am forever wrapping chicken in bacon with various stuffings and so this seemed a logical thing to do.

Well instead of moaning “not Salmon” the family eagerly wolfed down their dinner and so I am utterly thankful to Nigel for giving me a way to serve Salmon that doesn’t involve me being moaned at!

As Nigel always says, his recipes are a starting point and he expects people to use them as a platform from which to develop their own dishes if they so wish.

With this in mind, I used what I had in the fridge and therefore this is my version of Nigel’s recipe!

I found the coriander went well as it has an almost lemony quality to it and the squeezy tubes I bought on offer have saved me a lot of money as I use so much coriander. They are also great for stirring through Greek yogurt as a dressing!

I am entering this dish into an event called “Dish of the Month” by Janice over at Farmersgirl Kitchen where the theme is, you’ve guessed it, Nigel Slater! It’s come as no surprise to me how everyone seems to admire Nigel for his culinary skills and for being such a thoroughly lovely chap! (Sits on hands or this could turn into a huge monologue!)

I am also entering this dish into Karen at Lavender and Lovage’s “Herbs on Saturday” challenge which is being hosted by Vanesther at Bangers and Mash this month.

So let’s get started.

    I adore fresh fish and can’t believe i haven’t come across this recipe on your page before. I’ve been trying desperately to get red snapper lately with no success but i’m going to make this on Thursday. x

    I wouldn’t have tried this as I would have thought the bacon would overpower the salmon, but apparently not judging by the comments! I’ll show wife and we might try this soon!

    I’m not keen on the squeezy coriander tubes as the use by date is so short after you’ve opened it, but it seems like you use quite a bit for this recipe so that might not be a problem.

    I love Salmon, but have been very short of inspiration for different ways to cook it. Will definately try this.

    I’m definately going to give this a go with some yellow label reduced price trout fillets that are languishing in my freezer. Wouldn’t have thought of using the squeezy coriander like this.

      It’s so great when you come across a recipe that so simple but so effective so I can’t thank Nigel enough:-) If your trout fillets are the skinny type you might want to roll them up or the bacon won’t have a chance to crisp up before the trout is cooked through.

    Fight! You go to Nigel first again Camilla! Shame on you! But, what a LUSH entry for herbs on Saturday as well as Janice’s challenge! Thanks so much for this lovely entry, can you do me a favour, can you see if my last post is suitable for your credit crunch challenge? If it is I will link up! Karen

    Great flavour pairings and simple to make Camilla! Similar to you, I’m trying to eat more fish during the week. I’ve already had mackerel and I think there may be a serving of sushi coming my way this week.

      Am I first? I’m so pleased as I had a food fight with Karen (Lavvender & Lovage) the other day on Twitter over Nigel and now I’m first on the first tribute linky to him. I’m so pleased he’s come up with a salmon recipe that that everyone in my family liked as that’s no mean feat!
