Sesame Crusted Salmon with Cucumber and Raspberry Salsa
I actually like to make this dish in winter, when I crave a little colour on my plate. The pepper salsa replaces a tomato salsa, which in winter is hard to make taste like it’s summertime ripe-tomato partner.

Virtuous Chocolate Date Cake
My very first visit to Reykjavik, Iceland was short. But it was certainly memorable and delicious. While most cafes and casual restaurants had carrot cake on the menu, chocolate date cake was also a staple dessert. Serve this simple, one-layer cake with a coffee or tea. You can also add a little whipped cream or berry compote to dress it up.
