Hi, well the trick is to keep it simple, but look fab - the salmon is a great idea, BUT I would do it in foil or greaseproof paper parcels and cook it in the oven, that way you can spend time with your guest while it's cooking- you could top the salmon with raw prawns, sprinkle with lime/lemon juice, fresh coriander leaves, sweet chili sauce or a little grated fresh ginger (wonderful with salmon) and bake in the oven. Or cook a couple of good free-range or corn-fed chicken portions (I say portions so you don't have to do any carving, just plate up and serve) again use fresh herbs, garlic, chili, soy or teryaki sauce. Have a nice salad bowl of mixed salad leaves, add diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes (or serve roasted cherry tomatoes on the vine with the fish) and have some good rustic bread to mop up the juices. Make a nice salad dressing. Jacket potatoes, rice or noodles can all be cooked beforehand, and re-heated in the oven when cooking the main course, serve a simple dessert such as a mousse, fresh fruit salad or ice cream. Garnish your food, what looks nice will usually taste nice remember we eat with our eyes first!
