Salmon Stroganoff @MaddieDayAuthor #giveaway

MADDIE DAY here. It's cold in New England. Half a pint of sour cream in my fridge was waiting to be used, and I had a hankering for a hearty stroganoff. But I also wanted something a little lighter than beef or chicken liver. When I happened by a scant pound of fresh salmon in my local market, my cook's brain went to work. (Alas no fresh dill, and I forgot to pick up a lemon.)



Salmon Stroganoff

Ingredients

 


2 tablespoons butter

1 onion, minced

8 ounces mushrooms, cleaned and sliced

1 pound cooked salmon, flaked

1 cup sour cream

1 tablespoon dried dill or half cup chopped fresh

Salt and pepper to taste

Noodles or pasta of your choice

1 tablespoon olive oil


Directions

Cook the noodles or pasta according to the directions on the box. Drain, toss with a bit of olive oil, and set aside with the lid on.

While the noodles cook, melt butter in a skillet on medium and saute the onion until tender. Add the mushrooms and do the same.



Gently fold in the salmon, sour cream, and dill and heat until all is warm. 


Stir in the noodles and serve hot with a green salad.

  3. Thank you for the Salmon Stroganoff recipe! I love the idea of making a dish we love with salmon. We love fish recipes! Definitely on my "What's for supper?" list now.
    We love homemade egg noodles cooked in fresh chicken broth with the addition of boiled and chopped chicken. I usually use thighs because hubby loves dark meat and they produce some of the broth needed.
    Not entering the drawing since I was blessed with a copy, which I loved. Whoever wins, is definitely in for a reading treat!

  14. Perfect for a cozy meal when it is cold or hot outside! I love pasta with creamy sauces, and the salmon is a wonderful addition! Thank you, Maddie for sharing this recipe. I love pasta in general, but Farfalle and Gnocchi (homemade) are my favorites. I have all your books, so I hope the lucky winner will thoroughly enjoy Murder at Cape Costumers. JOY!!!

  15. Oh my, pasta served almost any way is a hit in my book, but I suppose spaghetti with a good marinara is always high on my list. I do love a good stroganoff and salmon as well, so this looks to be a hit around here. Excitedly looking forward to CeCe's newest adventure, but would by thrilled to read Mac's as well. Thanks for the chance and the recipe! makennedyinaz at hotmail dot com
