Lá Fhéile Pádraig – The Day of the Feast of Patrick

The "menu" as it were for the feast day is as follows:

Apricot Golden Raisin Soda bread

Pepper Salmon with Dill and Wine Sauce
Red New Potatoes
Roasted Asparagus with Lemon and Garlic

(Full recipes available upon request)
I have this wonderful cookbook from my earlier years called the 'Irish Pub Cookbook' by Margaret M. Johnson, and while I thought up the simple fish, potatoes, and asparagus triad easily enough, I was looking for something akin to a Celtic white sauce for a festive contribution.

The sauce being the only part of the meal requiring moderate concentration, cooking went quite quickly.

Some ingredients. Caya 2012
Sauce for the fish, potatoes, anything on the plate, really...Caya 2012

Cream, shallots, tomato and dill created a savory, tangy sloshing over the minimal potatoes, fish, and asparagus. There was plenty to go round.
