I want to try a type of bureka (filled puffed pastry) with smoked salmon. in the past i used ketchup/cheese, ketchup/salami or mustard/salami as filling. i had a brainstorm to try smoked salmon. what sauce would be good with that? ketchup or mustard don;t sound so good. i am open to recipes although nothing containing meat products, and preferably nothing containing milk products either, because i eat kosher. thank you!

I'm liking the white sauce, but you specified "no milk products." Okay, do it with 1 tablespoon olive or canola oil, 1 tablespoon flour, and 3/4 cup to 1 cup of water. Heat the oil, cook the flour for 1 minute, and add the 3/4 cup water. Stir until it's as thick as you need it to be; add the rest of the water if you need it. Add two tablespoons of fresh dill and a tablespoon of rinsed capers and a "squirt" of dijon mustard.
This should be enough sauce for one serving. You can double or triple if this doesn't make enough for your quantity.

I'd just make a bechamel. The basic recipe is 2 teaspoons each of butter and flour, and two cups of milk, but you can make half that or double that, too. Search for bechamel and you'll get many hits, it's a fundamental sauce. I'd do the butter and flour part and put the salmon in with the milk, so the flavors blend as the sauce forms. You could sautee some onions in with it, too. Just a simple white sauce that doesn't argue with the salmon flavors.

Ingredients
2 (8-ounce) packages cranberries, fresh or frozen
1 orange, zest cut into strips and juiced
1/2 cup sugar
1 cinnamon stick
Directions
Put all the ingredients into a saucepan over medium heat and simmer until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens, about 15 to 20 minutes. Serve at room temperature or cool and refrigerate. Remove the cinnamon stick before serving.

My Fave sauce for salmon is just making a white sauce but use half milk and half veg stock, you can stir in the cream at the end. cook the salmon in foil with garlic and lemon. I like putting cheddar on the salmon five mins from the end.
