Gravlax - Homemade Scandinavian Cured Salmon
Perfect for a summer meal or brunch, gravlax is raw salmon cured in a mix of salt, sugar and spices. This gentle “cooking” method gives the fish a melt-in-the-mouth texture, fragrant and full of flavor. Ideal served in thin slices, on toast or as an elegant starter. A simple, no-cook preparation that always makes an impression.

Salmon carpaccio is a classic on my summer tables. It’s the kind of recipe that only asks for good ingredients to be delicious, and it always makes a lovely impression when you bring it to the table.

Smoked Salmon and Leek Quiche
Leek season has begun! Smoked salmon and leek quiche is a wonderful seasonal recipe, and a great way to use up an already-opened package of smoked salmon. If you like fish quiches, you’ll probably also enjoy white fish and mushroom quiche and salmon, spinach and ricotta quiche.
