We’ve called these cheat’s salmon bakes because they’re a crafty way to make a quick and easy fish pie – without the effort. These salmon bakes use crispy shop-bought potato röstis but you could use puff pastry for a more traditional result.

Ingredients

2 skinless sustainably sourced salmon fillets, cut into large chunks
100g baby spinach leaves
200g ricotta
20g grated parmesan or Grana Padano
Zest and juice 1 small lemon
50ml vegetable stock
1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
2 large, ready-made potato rösti

Method

Heat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Scatter the salmon over the base of 2 x 500ml ovenproof pie dishes.
Pour boiling water over the spinach leaves, to wilt, then refresh under cold water, squeeze dry and roughly chop. In a bowl, mix with ricotta, parmesan, the lemon zest and juice, vegetable stock and chopped fresh dill. Season well and divide between the dishes. Stir to mix together, then top with a potato rosti. Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes, covering with foil halfway, until the salmon is cooked through.
