A plate of smoked salmon with brown soda bread is a
calling card in Ireland. In fact, the last thing my
mother gave me as I was ending my latest visit home
was a whole smoked salmon to bring back to the States.
The greens and olive oil give a modern spin to my
version of this classic starter. (Gerri Gilliland,
