Salmon Recipes
Mustard, Dill & Tarragon Salmon w/ Gribiche Sauce
This recipe is perfect for a whole side of salmon if you’re feeding a crowd. If there are just a few of you, scale back use a few salmon pieces instead. Salmon can be purchased pin-bone out from us in-store or online here. To pin-bone at home, you just need a sharp pair of tweezers and there’ll be easy instructions available from a quick internet search. We’ve used our Harbour Fish ‘Fish Seasoning’ here, which is available in-store or online. If Gribiche sauce doesn’t sound like you, substitute with homemade or store-bought Tartare sauce, or a cherry relish or chutney would also be delicious!
