Passover Dinner Menu

Poached Salmon with Horseradish Sauce

(makes 6 servings)

Many people start Seders with a fish course. Here we have the sweetness of poached salmon, married with the time-honored beet horseradish sauce. If you can't find store bought sauce, look at our web site for the recipe.

1lemon
1small onion
1small carrot, peeled
freshly ground pepper
2tablespoons sugar substitute
63-ounce wild salmon fillets, skin removed
Bottled beet flavored horseradish for garnish

  1. Fill saucepan with water up to half the height of the side. Cut the lemon in quarters, squeeze juice into pan and add the lemon pieces to the pan. Thinly slice the onion and add to the pan. Add the carrot. Bring to a simmer, add the pepper and sugar substitute, and simmer for 10 minutes, covered.
  2. Uncover the pan and place the fillets in the court bouillon. Cover with waxed paper and the lid. Simmer until the fish is opaque. Remove from heat and cool. Slice the carrot into 'coins'.
  3. To serve, place a fillet on a plate lined with lettuce leaves. Decorate the plate with carrot coins. Serve with horseradish sauce.

Passover Apple Squares

3/4cup cake meal
1teaspoon grated lemon rind

  3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Fold 1/3 into the egg mixture to lighten and then lightly fold in the rest.
  4. Place in an 8-inch pan which has been coated with cooking spray. Top with apples and then top with sugar substitute combined with ground cinnamon. Bake for 1 1/2 hours until done. Cool and serve with thawed frozen topping, if desired.
