It’s a tradition in Austria. German for dumpling is knödel (you pronounce the “k”). Because it’s an excellent way to use up stale bread, my mother used to cook this dish frequently when I was a child. It still ranks among my favorite tastes from my early years. I had to follow her around the kitchen the last time she prepared it, so the measurements are approximate because this is one of those recipes that isn’t written down. Ensure that the bread is old. Cut it into cubes if not, then dry it in the oven.

I used 2 – 6 oz salmon filets, 2 tablespoons ginger (we are big ginger fans) and 6 spring or pearl onions along with the remainder of the ingredients.Salmon stayed very moist and flavorful. I will definitely make this again.
I’m so happy I tried this recipe. I didn’t have grated ginger, so I used puréed ginger. It still came out great.
Another reviewer had said the flavor was underwhelming. I agree. I meant to add the red pepper flakes but forgot. I put a few mushrooms in and used more onion than the recipe called for but overall, found this to be bland. Won’t make again.
This was surprisingly bland. I thought with the fresh ginger and sesame oil it would have delivered more flavor. I don’t think I’ll be making this again.
Excellent. Added some red pepper flakes before baking. Very moist and flavorful.
I found this to be alright… average. It was easy, but didn’t have a lot of flavor. I enjoyed the ginger, but the sesame and rice vinegar didn’t add much. I didn’t like cooking the salmon on top of the carrots because the carrot got the salmon goo on them. I love salmon and have tried a lot of recipes. This one was just okay for me.
I didn’t have rice vinegar so used lemon juice in it’s place. It didn’t have a wonderful flavor – just the same old salmon and lemon with a bit of garlic on a bed of carrots and spinach. So, next time I’ll go buy rice vinegar to see if that makes the dish. Otherwise, I love cooking in foil – easy cleanup!!
Loved it! I’m not a huge salmon fan but ths tasted great! Added a few chili flakes for some heat but that was the only adjustment I made. It was wonderful!
This is an excellent recipe — quick, easy, yet worthy of company. I didn’t have salmon so I substituted large white fish (swai) fillets. As a result, I did have to increase the cooking time. Despite that, the fillets came out very moist and were very flavorful. I also didn’t make individual packets, but wrapped and sealed all of the carrots and fish I was preparing in one foil-lined pan. The meal is colorful and healthy. It is a very versatile and “forgiving” recipe that I will definitely make again. Thank you for sharing.
I changed the proportions of this recipe, and had to cook it for half an hour, but it was amazing, especially for such a simple recipe. Very moist, with a subtle flavor.
