This dish comes from my good friend Anita. It’s part her invention, part adaptation from Spice and Spirit, the fabulous Lubavitch Women’s Cookbook by Esther Blau, Tzirrel Deitsch and Cherna Light.
Make it a duet of dipping sauces when you whip up a Wasabi Scallion Sauce to go with you Dijon Sauce. Combine one large bunch of scallions (use only the green part), 1 cup light mayonnaise, the juice of 1 lemon and 1 teaspoon wasabi powder or more to taste. Blend or process until creamy and smooth. Refrigerate overnight to soften the bite.

totally agree!!! I also love serving this for shabbos — I present it as a whole side of salmon with fresh tomato salsa, dipping sauce on the side.
Perfect meal to serve on a hot night(like tonight) for supper over a bed of mixed greens and some grape tomatoes. Didn’t need to dress the greens because had the sauce from the fish.
