"Another great recipe from the 'Good Food' magazine (January 2003). This dish was created by Sara Buenfeld as part of a New Year's day buffet with a touch of Indian glamour. The recipe for this lightly spiced salmon serves 8, but can easily be adapted to serve any number really. It can be part of a buffet or served on individual plates. It is great for entertaining because it's impressive, not much work is involved, and you can prepare the salmon up to a day ahead. I will soon post the suggested side dishes to the salmon (Potato salad with curried mayo / Chicory and orange salad with ginger dressing)."
