These tart little berries and this flakey little fish don't seem like best buds, at first. In fact, this is one of those love stories that starts off with a hatred, and then turns into toleration, and then finally, the dramatic kiss. Only in this story, the dramatic melding of the delicious, buttery chutney and the salmon is enjoyed by your mouth, not theirs. Perhaps this analogy doesn't work so great. Doesn't matter; this meal works deliciously well. Tip: Want to get the most juice out of your lemon? Before cutting, microwave the lemon for 15-20 seconds to "soften" the fruit. Then, gently roll the softened fruit on your work surface while pressing on it with your palm. Finally, give yourself some serious mechanical advantage by placing a cut half in between the arms of a pair of tongs to make squeezing much easier.
