Salt cod is a natural for a Christmas buffet. Although it's often deep fried, this version is poached so there's no last-minute fussing
Here is an updated vrsion of the 60's classic,Tuna Noodle Casserole. Still a winner when it comes to flavour and easy preparation, the vegetables, herbs and salmon make this a flavourful change.
This makes a crisp crust with the complex flavours of whole grains and seeds.
The addition of onion, water and egg to the beef makes for a very juicy burger. Top it off with one of the Aiolis or a simple dollop of mustard and mayonnaise.
Serve this skillet supper with chili or seafood sauce, or quick tartar sauce (see below). Use 1 can (7-1/2 oz/213 g) salmon, drained and mashed, in place of crabmeat, if desired.
A whole fish is included in many Christmas Eve suppers. Here, toasted hazelnuts add their special buttery taste and crunch to a savoury stuffing.
