Salmon and Coleslaw Sandwich Filling
This salmon and coleslaw sandwich filling pairs flaked smoked salmon with a creamy homemade mayonnaise of egg, mustard, lemon and ketchup, whipped up in the Thermomix TM7. Fresh coriander and a hint of chilli add bite. The TM7 emulsifies the oil in a thin stream for a silky, stable sauce that binds the crunchy coleslaw beautifully.
About this recipe
Salmon and coleslaw sandwich filling is a luxurious lunch recipe that your Thermomix TM7 whips up in minutes, far beyond anything you can buy in a deli pot. The heart of this recipe is a homemade mayonnaise: egg, chilli powder, sea salt, pepper, mustard, lemon juice and tomato ketchup are blended in the mixing bowl while sunflower oil drizzles in a thin stream onto the rotating blades, creating a silky, stable emulsion that never splits. Flaked smoked salmon and crunchy coleslaw are then folded through, with fresh coriander leaves adding a bright, citrusy finish. This is the ultimate quick weeknight lunch or picnic treat, ideal for meal prep, and proof that an all-in-one kitchen machine can elevate even the humblest sandwich. If you are searching for salmon sandwich recipes, Thermomix TM7 style, this one delivers deli quality at home.
Preparation tips
- Drizzle the sunflower oil very slowly onto the mixing bowl lid so it streams gradually onto the rotating blades; rushing this step is the most common cause of a split mayonnaise with the egg and mustard base.
- Taste the dressing before folding in the smoked salmon, then adjust the lemon juice or chilli powder; the ketchup adds sweetness, so a little extra acidity usually balances the filling perfectly.
- Keep the finished filling chilled in an airtight container and add the fresh coriander leaves just before serving so they stay vibrant; assemble sandwiches on crusty bread for the best texture contrast.
Recipe variations
- For a lighter, lactose-conscious version, replace part of the mayonnaise with thick dairy-free yogurt and add extra lemon juice; the smoked salmon, cabbage and coriander combination stays just as fresh and zingy.
- For a festive brunch variation, spoon the salmon filling into halved croissants or small brioche buns and top with a few extra coriander leaves and a light dusting of chilli powder for colour.
Thermomix TM7 Benefits
- The Thermomix mixes egg, mustard and lemon juice into a smooth mayonnaise base without any lumps forming.
- Weighing the sunflower oil directly in the mixing bowl guarantees the correct ratio for a stable, creamy emulsion.
- The TM7 whips the ketchup-seasoned egg mixture to a light consistency that carries the chilli flavour evenly.
- Grating the cabbage for the coleslaw in the Thermomix gives fine, even shreds that soak up the salmon dressing.
- Chopping the fresh coriander leaves in the TM7 releases their aroma in seconds without bruising the delicate sprigs.
