Accompanying the main course are three additional recipes that elevate the dining experience. A refreshing cucumber salad with a tangy dressing of vinegar, honey, and mint provides a light and crisp contrast to the richness of the salmon. Roasted baby potatoes with a sprinkle of herbs and garlic offer a savory side dish that complements the flavors of the main course.

PANKO-CRUSTED SALMON
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- In a small bowl, mix together the panko, parsley, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Drizzle with the olive oil and stir until the crumbs are evenly coated. Set aside.
- Place the salmon fillets, skin side down, on a board. Generously brush the top of the fillets with mustard and then sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Press the panko mixture thickly on top of the mustard on each salmon fillet. The mustard will help the panko adhere.
- Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or large heavy, ovenproof pan. When the oil is very hot, add the salmon fillets, skin side down, and sear for 3 to 4 minutes, without turning, to brown the skin.
- Transfer the pan to the hot oven for 5 to 7 minutes until the salmon is almost cooked and the panko is browned. Remove from the oven, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve the salmon hot or at room temperature with lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350˚. Place the walnuts on a sheet pan and cook until lightly toasted, about 8 minutes. Transfer the walnuts to a cutting board and when cool enough to handle, roughly chop and set aside.
- Increase the oven temperature to 400˚. Line a sheet pan with foil. Using paper towels, pat the fish fillets dry. Evenly coat each salmon fillet with 1/2 tablespoon of the mustard. Season the fillets on all sides with salt and pepper and then sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of the flaxseed on top of each piece of fish, gently pressing them into the flesh. Place the fish on the lined sheet pan and drizzle each fillet with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Transfer to the oven and bake until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 125˚, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil, the vinegar and honey. Season with a pinch of salt and a twist of black pepper. Add the walnuts, grapes, parsley and scallions and toss together.
- When the fish is done, remove it from the oven, top each piece with a generous amount of salsa and serve.
