Dill and Mustard Seed Salmon Recipe
Salmon, dill and mustard seem like the thing I want to eat on this Irish holiday, after all dill-cured salmon can be found topping Irish bread from Clonakilty to Cookstown.
Corned beef and cabbage is all good and well, but in my spring mood I want something lighter and fresh.
After being a slave to the stove all winter long a three day corning affair does not interest me in the least. Instead I will make a beautiful rose-hued salmon that takes more like three minutes.
Happy St. Patty’s Day!
