If the Christmas table is to be updated with just one simple dish, this fantastic Christmas Salmon would be our suggestion. We love to serve it with a salad or two and even though it is a little bit spicy, it still goes really well with all the Christmas classics. For at super good salad to go with it, check out our Fennel & Pomegranate salad.
