Stretching salmon fillets

I'm looking for a recipe using salmon fillets, but where I could allow less than 1 fillet per person, as it's too expensive for a big crowd (sheva brachos).

On Shavuos, I made really fancy fish wellingtons. They are best served hot, but they could be served cold as well. I sauteed a bunch of veggies in tiny cubes and then put that, marinated fish, and spicy mustard into puff pastry dough and madeit into a square shape. After I baked it, I wrapped each wellington with a scallion or two to look like a present. I served with a ring of mayo/dill sauce around it. When I made it, I actually used half a fillet per wellington, but my DH toldd me afterwards thathe thought it would have been better, had the fish been flaked - that way the taste would have spread more and it would also have been eaiser to eat. If you want a more accurate recipe, let me know and I'll post it.

This is a really delicious and easy salmon salad!

The ingredients are approximate, you can adjust to stretch the salmon as far as you'd like.

1 bag of lettuce
2 red peppers, cubed
2 yellow peppers, cubed
1 red onion, sliced thin
handful grape tomatoes, halved
McCormick Montreal Chicken Seasoning
2 lb. piece of salmon
¼ c. mustard
¼ c. honey
¼ c. mayonnaise
Terra Sticks (optional)

Sprinkle salmon generously with McCormick Montreal Chicken Seasoning. Broil salmon in oven for 12-15 minutes (watch at the end so that it doesn't burn). Cool, and cut into cubes with a sharp knife. In a large salad bowl, layer lettuce, red peppers, yellow peppers, red onion, and grape tomatoes. Place cubed salmon on top of the salad bowl. In a separate container, mix mustard, honey, and mayonnaise. Pour dressing over salad and top with Terra Sticks. Toss before serving. Salad can also be served on individual plates, with the dressing drizzled on top, too.

The best solution is salmon kebabs. Cut the fillets into bite-size chunks, marinade and put them on skewers alternating with vegetables (red peppers, halved mushrooms, courgettes). It looks nice, and allows you to stretch salmon.

You can also make salmon loaf, which stretches salmon a bit by adding breadcrumbs (or shredded and soaked challah bits) and eggs.

There's a great recipe for sesame salmon skewers over angel hair pasta from either Mishpacha or Binah magazine that was posted here. I'm not sure where it is. You can start a new thread asking for it.
