This salmon kedgeree recipe is perfect at any time of the day - breakfast, lunch or dinner. If you want more of a kick then you can add a little curry powder or sliced chillies for an added hit of flavour to please any heat lovers. We love this served up as it is but it's also fab with a big green salad at tea time. This gorgeous smokey salmon kedgeree recipe also keeps really well and will reheat perfectly, so make extras for lunchboxes or late-night suppers.
Ingredients
- 12 quail’s eggs
- 60g (2oz) butter
- 1 medium onion, peeled and finely sliced
- 175g (6oz) basmati or long-grain rice
- About 300g (10oz) lightly smoked salmon fillets (2 fillets)

WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- Add the quail’s eggs to a pan of gently boiling water and cook for 2½ minutes. Drain, cover with cold water and leave for a few minutes to cool.
- Melt half the butter in a frying pan. Add the onion and fry for about 4 minutes until soft and golden.
- Add the rice, stir well and pour in 600ml (1 pint) hot water. Bring just to the boil. Nestle the salmon fillets in the rice, cover and cook over a very low heat for 8-10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel the quail’s eggs and cut in half.
- Take out salmon and set it aside. Keep cooking the rice for another few minutes, with pan lid off. Skin the fish, check for bones, removing any you find.
- Add the rest of the butter, large flakes of fish and parsley to the rice. Arrange halved quail’s eggs on top and sprinkle with paprika. Garnish with the parsley.
