    ThermoFun - Salmon Steaks with Cucumber & Spiced Yoghurt Recipe

    Jump to recipe

    SalmonSteaksWithSpicedYoghurt

    Salmon is one of my favourite seafoods and when I tried it in the Thermomix Varoma I knew straight away that it was going to be a hit with the family.

    The accompanying Cucumber and Spiced Yoghurt set the dish off and we all felt like we were eating at a 5 star restaurant.

    If you love salmon you MUST cook this - if you like salmon you MUST cook this - if you've never had salmon you MUST cook this.  I think you all get the drift ...  :)

      I like my salmon to be cooked med rare, just like steak, so 20 - 30 mins steaming would be way too much for me. I would be inclined to start off the veg first and then add the salmon half way through the cooking time. The spiced yoghurt sounds delicious, have this on the radar for later this week. Thank you

      That spiced yoghurt sauce is great! It works beautifully with the salmon and potato, but also will keep it in mind for an accompliment to lamb. My family really enjoyed this meal, it's a winner! Thanks!
