Chef John's "Sunset" Michelada
This spicy, savory, tangy, amazingly refreshing beer-based cocktail is considered one of the best hot-weather, adult beverages ever. I've heard it described as 'Bloody Mary meets Mimosa,' which makes me never want to go to brunch again, but it's also kind of accurate. You can use tomato juice or make your own using fresh cherry tomatoes.
Flaked Salmon Salad with Dijon, Lemon, and Capers
Great use for leftover poached or baked flaked salmon. Can be served on salad greens, in a sandwich, on a toasted English muffin, or even as a spread for crackers. The dressing itself makes a very flavorful tartar sauce.
Creamy Polenta with Roasted Corn and Fresh Sage
This side dish is great served hot and topped with Parmesan cheese, or chilled, cut into shapes and then griddled.
