This article explores the evolution of holiday traditions, particularly Easter brunch, where salmon is suggested as a vibrant alternative to lamb and ham. While lamb and ham have historical and religious roots traditionally served in spring, preparing those dishes often results in logistical challenges. The author shares their experience in making salmon the centerpiece for its quick cooking time and impressive presentation. The recipe emphasizes wild salmon with a butter and honey-lemon sauce, complemented by fresh dill, making it a bright and festive addition to the holiday table.
Lamb has deep religious significance, representing spring, while ham traditionally comes from pigs butchered in fall; salmon offers a modern, impressive alternative for Easter brunch.
Preparing ham and lamb well can lead to late meals or missing festive traditions, which is why I embraced salmon for a quicker, yet elegant brunch centerpiece.
Wild salmon shines in this recipe due to the honey-lemon butter sauce that adds richness, while fresh dill cuts through the richness perfectly for a springtime dish.
The versatility of salmon at Easter allows it to accommodate diverse diets without sacrificing the celebratory essence, making it a harmonious choice for family gatherings.
