Ingredients

  • 50 cheese light soft
  • tablespoon juice of lemon 
  • fillet salmon 
  • tsp capers 
  • serving lemon zest 
  •  baking potatoes 
  • serving cooking oil 

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • oven
  • grill
  • microwave

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas
  2. Rub a little oil and seasoning over the potatoes, then bake on a baking sheet for 25 mins. Turn down the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and bake for 1 hr-1 hr 15 mins more until the flesh is tender and the skin crisp and golden. For a quicker option, prick a potato with a fork. Wrap in a sheet of kitchen paper and microwave on High for 8-10 mins until soft inside. For crisp skin, rub with a little oil, then flash under a hot grill, turning often. To serve, slice a cross in the centre, squeeze the base to pop the top, then choose your favourite filling.
  3. For the salmon and soft cheese filling, mix 50g light soft cheese with a squeeze lemon juice and seasoning. Pile into a jacket potato and flake 1 hot-smoked salmon fillet on top.
  4. Sprinkle with 1 heaped tsp capers and a little lemon zest.
