Honey mustard dill sauce is a Scandinavian classic found in both Sweden and Denmark. It is the perfect partner for the famous gravlax, and for fish in general. This kosher version is parve.

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.

Served as a cold starter or as a more generous main, the assiette nordique (Nordic platter) is an elegant dish of smoked fish and salad, served with blinis or toast. Here is my suggestion for the one I like to make; you can adapt it to your taste and to whatever you have in the fridge.
