Alternative serving suggestions:

• Serve leftover cold salmon over a small bed of baby spinach and use mustard dill sauce as dressing.
• Serve "shrimp cocktail," using mustard dill sauce as the dipping sauce. (Buy fully cooked, frozen shrimp and run under cold water to defrost.)
• Cold salmon salad: Flake leftover salmon and mix with broccoli and a small amount of brown rice. Sprinkle with low sodium teriyaki sauce.
