No-cook

The best argument for smoked salmon is that it’s already cooked. Open the packet, fold it onto a plate, finish with whatever’s sharp, fresh and acidic. These recipes don’t ask you to turn the hob on at all. Canapés. Grazing boards. Open sandwiches the Scandinavian way. Soda bread lunches. The wraps you take to the office. All under fifteen minutes, no washing-up beyond a chopping board. Cold kitchen, plated lunch.
