Fresh herbs, bright lemon and crisp Champagne adds elegance and balance to the subtle richness of Verlasso Salmon. Making the simplicity of this dish perfect for large gatherings and celebrations.
These delicious kebabs have a bit of a Spanish flair with the smoked paprika glaze and cumin crème fraîche dipping sauce. Marinated cherry tomatoes give them extra flavor and color, and they help in the cooking, too. Just as the tomatoes blister on the grill, the salmon is cooked through. Serve over a bed of greens and pass the dipping sauce separately.
This recipe is great for any party! It is simple and bright adding flair to any party. Make this amazing Verlasso salmon tartare in advance and have it ready to serve when your guests arrive.

In this recipe, there is no need to marinate for a day or two as you would for ordinary gravlax but cure it for just a few minutes and then top with a lemon and herb vinaigrette.
I love the combination of hot chiles with berries. No matter how you pair them, they always go well with salmon...
This dish is a delicious way to incorporate sautéed salmon into breakfast, lunch or dinner. Look for a crusty loaf of sourdough to provide a base for this recipe.
