Put traditional pastrami spices to work on a midweek fresh salmon fillet.William MeppemeasyTime:1-2 hoursServes:4
The time-honoured flavours of the Jewish deli have seen a renaissance,from smoked meats and crunchy pickles to pretzels and smoked salmon bagels. They're strong enough for a bit of reinvention,too. Pastrami spices (traditionally used for curing beef) make a great flavour additive for fresh salmon. Make a double batch of the spice mix and use it time and again,on chicken thighs,lamb chops,pork ribs,eggplant and mushrooms.
