About this recipe
Salmon and Veg Thermomix TM7 is the quick weeknight dinner answer for anyone searching for easy salmon recipes made in an all-in-one kitchen machine. Fresh salmon fillets are combined with butternut squash, carrots, onions, parsley and frozen peas, then chopped and sautéed in a single mixing bowl, which means almost no chopping board, no knife work and no pile of pans afterwards. The natural sweetness of the squash pairs beautifully with the flaky, tender salmon, while the parsley lifts the whole bowl with freshness. Because the TM7 handles both the chopping and the gentle sautéing with exact temperature control, the salmon stays moist and the vegetables turn soft without browning too far. This makes it a brilliant main course for families with children, for meal prep on Sundays, or for anyone who wants a balanced plate of protein and vegetables on the table in minutes.
Preparation tips
- Cut the butternut squash into rough chunks before adding it to the mixing bowl so it chops evenly alongside the carrots and onions, giving the finished bowl a consistent texture.
- Stir the frozen peas in at the very end so they keep their bright colour and slight bite, and taste before serving to check whether the salmon needs a pinch of salt or a squeeze of lemon.
- For a milder version children will enjoy, replace the parsley with fresh dill and serve the salmon mixture over fluffy mashed potatoes or stirred through cooked rice.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free and gluten-free as prepared, this recipe also works dairy-free; swap the olive oil for a knob of plant-based margarine and serve with rice for a fully allergen-friendly family meal.
- For a seasonal festive twist, replace the butternut squash with pumpkin in autumn and add a spoonful of cranberry sauce at the end, turning the salmon into an elegant Christmas Eve supper.
