  1. Hey Gerri!

    This sounds so good! I think I might make it with smoked salmon; it would be even quicker and I wouldn’t have to heat up the oven on a hot Summer day.

    Have you ever tried Japanese smoked salmon? I don’t know how they do it, but it has the texture of firm raw salmon rather than the “shellaced” texture of the more Scandinavian varieties I usually find in shops. I had it in a Japanese restaurant and have never forgotten how tender it was, with a very light smokiness.

    • Hi John-Mark,

      Smoked salmon would give it a lovely flavor, what a great idea!

      I haven’t tried the Japanese variety, I’ll definitely keep an eye out for it though, you’ve made it sound absolutely mouthwatering.
