Adapted From Table 3 Restaurant and Market, Nashville
Nashville’s Table 3 Restaurant and Market offers traditional French brasserie cuisine alongside a French-centric wine list selected by co-owner Elise Loehr. These smoked salmon cakes have a casual bistro feel that belies a lot of preparation.
This recipe requires two separate remoulade sauces and a slaw, but don’t fret: You can prepare both sauces a day in advance and toss the slaw an hour before serving. If your date-night vibe is casual and lighthearted, this will still be perfect.

Pair It
Loehr recommends August Kesseler 2017 The Daily August Rosé from Rheingau, Germany. “With an array of earthy marigold, tangerine skin, muskmelon, Rainier cherry and kiwi juice aromas and flavors, this goes far beyond expectations for a dry saignée rosé at this price,” she says. “One sip has you going back for more, and with the rich smoky salmon cakes, it’s a ‘knock-it-out-of-the-ball-park’ combination.”
