This salmon fillet is a great option for anyone who likes a lighter protein or wants to eat less red meat. To garnish the fish, Ricardo prepared a tapenade featuring the bright acidity of fresh cranberries. ’Tis the season to take advantage of this Nordic fruit that rivals citrus in the tart department.

I have made this in the past with fresh cranberries. It is delicious and colourful! At the moment I only have dried cranberries. Can I substitute dry? Do they need to be rehydrated?

Excellent recipe for Christmas. I made the cranberry sauce earlier in the day, not sure if it makes a difference. Quick and our guests loved it.
