​Lemon Salmon Piccata​

This is one of the dishes that we make often because it's quick and easy but also because of the memories it holds for us. The lemon and garlic pan sauce is perfect sopped up with bread, and the briny tang of the capers complements salmon incredibly well.

​Spaghetti With Anchovy & Lemon​

This is one of those recipes that is so much more than the sum of its parts, and once tried you’ll keep coming back to it. In Italy, a simple pasta dish like this would be served with a sprinkling of seasoned fried breadcrumbs (see FAQ above), but some bread on the side works just as well.
