Sweet-and-Sour Fish
By Susan Bishop-Sauter
Marinated Shrimp with Pickled Watermelon Rind
Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less but requires additional unattended time.
Salmon and Rice Wrapped in Pastry with Dill Sauce
Start this romantic supper with Russian caviar and ice-cold lemon vodka. The main course is a simplified but impressive interpretation of the Russian fish pie known as kulebiaka, which the French call coulibiac. Offer Champagne with the entrée, and finish the meal with babas au rhum from a French bakery to complete the cross-European elegance.
Grilled Swordfish with Fresh Tomato-Herb Salsa
A high-protein dish loaded with flavor. Purchased sorbet makes a nice dessert.
