[dropcap style=”font-size: 60px; color: #00adef;”] W[/dropcap]Kedgeree is a traditional British dish usually made with smoked haddock and served for breakfast. But I prefer this milder Simple Salmon Kedgeree version with canned salmon and rice as an easy midweek dinner.
This is one of those fish dishes that isn’t actually fishy at all.
The curry powder seems to almost mask the salmon flavour and leaves you with a lovely gentle spiciness – without being overtly curry-like.
We’re talking simple comfort food.
I used brown rice for the photo because I like it’s nuttiness and fiber bonus but any type of rice would work well here.
Inspired by the dynamic pioneer of Australian cooking, Margaret Fulton.
