Salmon and Dill Tart
Salmon and dill just work so well together. Dill has a flavour similar to tarragon and anise, and it really adds a boost to any dish. This tart is super easy and quick to whip up, and it makes a great recipe for lunch with friends. Team it up with fresh garden salad and crusty bread for a complete meal.
