Please note that I’ve updated this recipe to include more accurate measurements and timings.
One of the aspects I love about the Thermomix is the ability to do an entire meal in an incredibly short period of time.
Fish and Chicken Fillets especially lend themselves to this way of cooking everything at once in the Thermomix.
I made a lovely meal for my son and his partner at their new home some time ago. The whole meal took only minutes to prepare and cook. Recipe developed for the TM31, but works well in TM5 and TM6.

A delicious and simple salmon dish that serves 2 - 4
Ingredients
- 2 - 4 pieces Tasmanian Salmon, skin off (see note for skin on salmon)
- Lemon Pepper
- White wine or juice of one lemon
- Mixed vegetables - I used truss baby tomatoes, broccolini, baby squash and green beans
- 200g potato, peeled, large dice
- 200g sweet potato, peeled, large dice
- 30g butter, cubed
- 30g cream
- salt and pepper to taste
Sauce
- This is done in the microwave. Use your stove if you don't have a microwave and adjust accordingly.
- Heaped tsp of cornflour
- Juice and rind of 1 lemon
- ¼ cup cream
- 3 Tbsp Mayonnaise (I use my slightly sweetened mayo)
- Lemon pepper to taste
- fresh or dried dill
Method
- Place basket into the Thermomix bowl and tare the scales.
- Weigh potato and sweet potato into basket.
- Remove the basket and add 1 litre boiling water to the bowl. (or use Kettle mode on TM6)
- Place basket back into the bowl.
- Cook 5 min/Varoma/sp 3.
- Place prepared vegetables into Varoma bowl and place on top.
- Steam another 5 min/Varoma/speed 3
- Meanwhile, prepare salmon by placing on to scrunched wet baking paper (or greased steaming tray) on Varoma tray.
- Sprinkle with lemon pepper and drizzle over white wine.
- Steam 5 min/Varoma/speed 3 or until fish is almost cooked.
- Remove Varoma bowl and tray and place onto a plate to catch liquid.
- Remove basket with spatula and tip water out of TM bowl.
- Place potatoes back into the bowl and add butter, cream and seasoning.
- Blend 5 - 10 sec/speed 4 - 5 or until silky smooth.
- Place Varoma back onto TM bowl to keep everything warm while preparing sauce in microwave.
Sauce
- Place cornflour into a small microwave safe jug. Add a little water to make a slurry.
- Tip juice from the salmon into the jug and whisk in lemon juice and rind, cream, dill and lemon pepper. Microwave in 3 x 30 second bursts, stirring in between or until bubbling and thickened.
To serve:
- Spoon mash onto plate and place salmon on top. Arrange vegetables around and pour sauce over salmon.
NOTES:
- If you like to crisp salmon skin, remove it from the salmon. Heat a frying pan over high heat and sprinkle salt onto skin. Sear until crisp and place on top of salmon to serve.
- Substitute Barramundi fillets for Salmon.
