Crackers and salmon? Indeed! What can be better than the textural contrast between the crunchy, butter-y rich and sweet crackers and the flaky, tender fish? You don't have to answer, just think about the slightly grassy, slightly citrus-y notes of dill in lemon-y cream sauce drizzled on top. I think now we're thinking the same thing: which one of us can order this delightful meal the fastest.
