You’ll find a recipe for whole grilled salmon fillet, a perfect addition to your Feast of Seven Fishes dinner, or a showstopping main dish on Christmas day if your guests aren’t meat-eaters. Vegan dishes potatoes and chard and guacamole act as the perfect sides, while wintery greens with dried cranberries and nuts add a dose of freshness.

Don’t worry, we didn’t forget about dessert. Keep an eye on our next blogpost for our recipe for vegan Christmas pudding!

We prepared this entire Christmas menu without using any additional water, oil or fats during the cooking process – and you can too. 

Thanks to the masterful design and use of superior 316-L stainless steel in Zepter Masterpiece Cookware we’re able to cook without worrying about foods to sticking to and tarnishing our pans. Cook potatoes without water and grill fish without oil for maximum nutrient retention, then drizzle with olive oil and other seasonings after the cooking process has finished to add additional flavor, while maintaining the integrity of your ingredients.

Let the holiday feasting begin!
