Fennel or Beetroot Cured Salmon

Home-cured salmon is surprisingly easy to make and far more economical than buying smoked salmon. Serve it on bite-sized squares of rye bread topped with Greek yoghurt with a dash of horseradish and Dijon mustard as an appetiser, or with capers and Quick Cucumber Pickles as part of a buffet or brunch.

Salmon is rich in omega-3 for brain and heart health, and can reduce the risk of angina, heart attack and dementia.
