๐ฟ Notes for Flow
This is a fish-based Shabbat menu (dairy/parve). If serving fish as the main, no meat courses are included — but you can easily adapt to a meat table by using the salmon as a starter instead.
Most dishes can be prepped in advance (quinoa, roasted veggies, dips, dessert) so only the salmon needs to be cooked fresh before the meal.
Keeps the table festive yet light, making it a great summer or spring Shabbat dinner.
