T his meal is great year-round, but it works
well for Passover, whether served for
seder or just during the week as a cha-
metz-free dinner.
The colors in the fish make for a lovely presen-
tation, the dill delivers a fresh, springlike vibe
and the celery root offers a different, slightly
more exotic take on a mashed vegetable than
potatoes or sweet potatoes. For any lower-carb
and gluten-free diners, this meal checks the
boxes, but for those of us eating without any
restrictions, there is no sense of sacrifice. Best of
all worlds!
To round out the main course, any spring veg-
etable like asparagus, string beans, peas, spinach
or leafy greens are a fine addition, or perhaps
a colorful green salad featuring early spring
lettuce, microgreens, sliced radishes and some
edible flowers would work?
Because the menu is dairy, a simple dessert of
ice cream or sherbet is an ideal finish.
