Introduction

Kedgeree is a British-Indian colonial meal that has been adapted as a first-run show of color from leftover salmon. This is a take on a recipe from the September or August 2011 issue of Fine Cooking. I prepared it quite differently and gave myself 6 servings instead of four for the recipe, and it drops to just about 331 power-packed calories from 650! I love the protein and fiber count! I think it has a mild Indian flavor, but like so many Indian dishes can be heated up easily--especially if you stir in an unground Indian spice mix and roast in the oiled pan before you begin your saute.
