Quick Weeknight

A weeknight dinner has one job: get from cold kitchen to plate without much thought. Smoked salmon helps. It doesn’t need cooking, so it goes in off the heat at the end. It pairs with what’s already in your cupboard. These recipes are all twenty minutes or under, lean heavily on smoked salmon trimmings (a third of the price of sliced and behave the same way), and produce a real dinner with real flavour instead of a sad pan of jarred sauce. Pour the wine before you put the pan on.
