Salmon with Thyme and Three-Lemon Crème Fraîche
This is the perfect light meal to counter Christmas pound-packing. A simple roast slab of salmon, slow-baked on a bed of lemon and thyme, is served hot or room temperature with a whisk-together sauce of crème fraîche, fresh thyme, and lemon in three forms: lemon zest, lemon juice, and minced preserved lemon. It's a light, bright homage to citrus season.
Note: Preserved lemon is a Moroccan ingredient that can be found in most specialty middle eastern or Northern African grocers.
