The Great British Budget Menu led to a huge online discussion about how hard (or easy) it was to prepare food which tasted high end but was made at the fraction of the price. Jack shares a super fast fish supper that only costs 27p a serving, yet tastes wonderful.
This speedy fish pasta recipe - a tinkering with a 32p jar of fish paste - takes just a few lazy minutes to put together, and tastes absolutely divine. The sharpness of the lemon brings out the salmon flavour in the paste, and the yoghurt lends a creamy subtlety. I could go on and on about this - I didn’t expect to be able to make a restaurant quality dish from a jar of value range fish paste
Top end restaurants often feature ‘creamy salmon mousse’ on their menus, which is where I took my inspiration from here - except instead of expensive cream, I used natural yoghurt, and instead of pulverising a perfectly good piece of salmon, I bought it in a jar, with the hard work already done for me (The paste I used was a small Sainsbury’s Basics jar, a combination of salmon and white fish).
