Roasted Salmon With Cranberry-Mustard Sauce

A terrific way to finish off the cranberry relish. Make full use of your oven -- and your time -- by roasting small red-skinned potatoes alongside the fish, then tossing the potatoes with butter and parsley to have as a side dish. Boil slim green beans or haricots verts to complement the main course. End the meal with slices of marble pound cake ("toasted" briefly in the oven) topped with chocolate sauce and whipped cream.
