Zucchini stuffed with salmon

Here is my first tip .... * am excited *

I have often done, is always delicious and now I want you to share in it - I hope I do not repeat myself now and the recipe is not here somewhere. Have looked for and found nothing, but who knows ... So, let's start in advance:

Ingredients for 4 servings (or two good eaters, as we are):


4 medium sized zucchini
400 g salmon (fillet)
2 slices of white bread
1/2 bunch dill (TK or fresh, I always take TK, goes faster)
1 small onion
1 clove of garlic
a little lemon juice, so about two teaspoons
5-6 tablespoons of cream fraiche
Salt and pepper to taste
a little butter


Thaw the salmon (if it is not fresh) and cut it to size, debark the bread and cut / tear / pluck it into very small pieces.

Halve and extinguish the zucchinis. I always leave the interior, I do not know what to do with it.


Finely chop the dill (or just do and take TK)

Finely chop the onion and garlic.

Then mix all ingredients except the butter until a smooth mass is produced. If in doubt, do some creme fraiche to make it too dry. But not too much, because otherwise it is too fluid. I hope that sounds understandable? Then season with salt and pepper. I always prefer to do a little less, because I tell myself that I can still spice up afterwards. But regardless of the composition of the ingredients in itself is already delicious, so I do not need so much spice anyway and would rather have a lot of "natural taste".


Then preheat the oven to 180 degrees Umluf. Pour the mass into the oiled zucchinis and add butter flakes. Lay out a baking sheet with parchment paper, place the zucchini in it and put it in the oven for 25 minutes. The salmon is very fast, the zucchinis take a bit longer. But it's still important to stick to the 25 minutes cooking time, because the longer it is in the oven, the softer the courgettes become, and when it's mushy, it tastes very mean, no matter how good the filling is - me speak from experience ... :(

We enjoy a ciabatta and a cucumber salad afterwards.

So, I hope I have forgotten nothing and it tastes you. Anyway, it tastes good to us and while I'm writing this, I think that you can eat it quietly for two days in a row - too bad our zucchinis are all ... :(
