Fresh Scottish salmon baked in a creamy lemon sole mousse, baked to perfection and served with king prawns, potatoes and seasonal vegetables.

Method

  1. Prepare the lemon sole mousse – purée lemon sole in a food processor; add egg whites and purée again; add double cream and purée until combined; season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until needed.

  2. Cut salmon in half, but keep in one long piece – form this into a circle, keeping a hold in the centre. Place on parchment/baking paper and then onto a metal baking tray.

  3. Chop the ends off the courgette, cut 4 x 3mm circular slices and then use a peeler to make 8 strips.

  4. Wrap 2 strips of courgette around the salmon, place 1 circular piece of courgette at the bottom of each hole in the salmon.

  5. Fill the courgette-wrapped salmon arrangements with lemon sole mousse, and top with 1 or 2 king prawns.

  6. Cook in a fan oven at 180°C for 20-25 minutes. Serve with seasonal vegetables and potatoes, with a white wine and cream sauce.
