Fennel compote

Contains pork – recipe is for non-Muslims only

Fennel goes well not just with fish but also pork and poultry, and this soft and juicy side makes a great accompaniment to a Sunday roast

Warm Salmon Salad with Watercress

Even though we suggest you serve this salad warm, it is equally delicious cold and makes a great left over lunch – if there are any leftovers at all. Tender, juicy salmon is just perfect with buttery potatoes and dill. The yogurt dressing is light but oh-so-creamy without being unhealthy. A super easy dinner that is beautiful to look at and eat!
