Here’s a rule of thumb: the more intense the flavor of an ingredient, the more simple the recipe. Why overwhelm the pallet? Pickled salmon is a great example. It’s very sweet and acidic, so milder ingredients like cucumber and avocado will balance it out. This is a stupid easy recipe (like you-don’t-even-need-a-recipe-to-make-it easy). It’s light, refreshing and ideal for summer get togethers. Impress your guests with a plate so gorgeous, they’ll think you hired a chef to make it.
