Citrus Salmon With Date And Herb Paste

I make salmon a lot during the year and keep trying to come up with new recipes. This one is perfect for Rosh Hashanah, as I like to incorporate simanim into all my dishes. It presents so beautifully on a long platter, with a pop of color from the citrus. Click here to download the full holiday Family Table supplement, exclusive to Kosher.com.
