This is a perfect summer supper dish because it is so light and delicately flavoured. I made no change to the recipe, all worked fine. This was my first time with celeriac, too, and was so happy to find a new easy vegatable. I will make this for guests sometime, as it is so fast and easy, perfect for a dinner party.

I'm so sorry to have not liked it because I was really optimistic that I would. I think it's mostly that I just must not like celeriac. If I make this again (after trying another 5 starred celeriac recipe...I'm not giving up on a new veggie that easily), I'm going to buy one about half the size (I weighed mine at the store) because it was over-powering, IMHO (now that I look at all the photos again, I see that I ended up with as much of the mash as Jenny did, which is more than in the other photos). I think I failed to cook it long enough and mash it well enough, so I'll correct that next time. The mustard sauce was very tasty, though, and I may continue to use that with salmon once in a while.

This was a wonderful and light dinner. I have never had celeriac before and was looking for a dish where I could use it without overpowering any flavour that it might have and finding this one with salmon was perfect. I was very impressed with the results. This was a nice change and healthy as well! I did use Dijon mustard instead since I didn't have any grain mustard and it turned out fabulous. I will certainly make this again. Thanks for this creative dish MarieAlice. :)

What a fabulous diet dinner that tasted as if it wasn't! I used Scottish organic salmon and the flavours came together beautifully. As we are on diets I left out the olive oil. I really fell in love with celeriac. An excellent choice for people on the Slimming World diet on a red day! I will be making this again. Many thanks for including this recipe in recipezaar!
