SALMON-ROE-TOPPED BAKED POTATOES WITH CRèME FRAîCHE
A riff on a recipe for a potato stuffed with rosemary and pork rillettes from Nigel Slater, the British food writer, this version relies on salmon roe and crème fraîche. The pairing is, as Ms. Clark wrote, "a briny, creamy analogue" to a porky version. Try it as a bright and festive appetizer during the holidays, or skip the salmon roe for a still-satisfying meal.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Rub potatoes with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and pierce twice with a fork (don't worry if some salt falls off). Place potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until skin is crispy and insides are tender when pierced with a fork, 60 to 70 minutes.
- When potatoes have cooled enough to handle, use a sharp knife to slice off tops. Scoop out insides, leaving about 1/4 inch around skin; transfer potato flesh to a bowl. Add crème fraîche, butter, chives, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper; mash with a fork until combined.
- Stuff potato skins with potato mixture. Return potatoes to oven and bake until heated through, about 10 minutes. Run under broiler for another 1 to 2 minutes until tops are golden brown and crisp. Serve hot, topped with salmon roe and additional crème fraîche, if desired.

CRèME FRAîCHE POTATO SALAD WITH SALMON ROE, GREEN CABBAGE SLAW, AND SMOKED SALMON
Because the crème fraîche melts into the potatoes, this dish has the virtue of tasting lush without appearing overly so. For an even more sumptuous look, give the salad a generous dollop on top.

Steps:
- Make the slaw:
- In a bowl toss together the cabbage, the dill, the oil, the vinegar, and the salt and chill the slaw, covered.
- Make the potato salad:
- Cut the potatoes, unpeeled, into eights and in a steamer set over simmering water steam them, covered for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are just tender. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl, toss them while they are still warm with the oil, the vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste, and let them cool, stirring gently once or twice until they are lukewarm. Add the crème fraîche, the roe, and the lemon juice, stirring the salad gently to avoid breaking up the potatoes.
- Arrange the smoked salmon around the edge of a platter, spread the slaw in the center, and mound the potato salad over the slaw.

Steps:
- First, for the pickles, cut the cucumber into rounds and layer it in a sieve, sprinkling with 2 tsp salt as you go. Set over a bowl and leave for a couple of hours - the salt will draw out the moisture.
- Bring 200ml water to the boil in a pan with the white wine vinegar, sugar, 1 tsp salt, celery seeds and black peppercorns. Leave to cool.
- Peel the carrots and cut them into batons. Clean the radishes really well, then cut them in half lengthways. Squeeze the drained cucumbers of excess moisture.
- Put all the vegetables in a 1-litre sterilised jar with the dill and pour the cooled vinegar over them, then seal with a lid. Leave to sit at room temperature for two days before serving, or keep chilled. Will keep in the fridge for four weeks.
- Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and put the salmon fillets on a baking sheet. Brush the fillets with the melted butter and scatter with black pepper. Cook for 14 mins.
- Serve the salmon with some of the pickled vegetables, a generous tablespoon of crème fraîche on each fillet, finished with a spoonful of salmon roe on top.
