“Nice cream” is the term for puréed frozen bananas that resemble soft serve ice cream. For this version, we added peak-of-season Utah grown peaches and froze them ourselves. You can substitute peaches from the freezer section if desired, but if you do, you may need to add a small amount of maple syrup to sweeten.
In a food processor, add frozen peaches and bananas. Let sit at room temperature to thaw slightly, about 5 minutes.
Add vanilla, oatmilk, and maple syrup, if using, to food processor. Pulse until fruit starts to break into smaller pieces. Use a spatula to occasionally stir mixture. It may take up to 10 minutes to fully puree. The finished product will resemble soft serve ice cream.
Serve immediately for very soft “nice” cream. If it has started to melt too much, place in a container and freeze for 1 hour. For firmer “nice” cream, freeze for 4 hours. Once frozen, let nice cream thaw slightly to make it easier to scoop.

In a food processor, add fruit and pineapple juice and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add fruit to coconut milk-yogurt bowl and stir until well mixed.
Divide mixture evenly among popsicle molds. Transfer to freezer and freeze until frozen, 2-4 hours. Serve with Tajin seasoning for an extra kick.

To make the brine, line a cutting board with plastic wrap on a cutting board. Place salmon on plastic wrap. Sprinkle with half of sugar and salt, turn over and sprinkle with remaining sugar and salt. Wrap tightly in plastic, removing air. Place on a plate. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Remove salmon from refrigerator, discard plastic, and pat salmon dry with paper towels.
To smoke, line a large, heavy Dutch oven with 2-foot-long sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil. Pour sugar, rice, and tea leaves in the bottom. Turn heat on high and wait until wisps of smoke appear. Place a rack over mixture. Add salmon, skin side down, cover with lid. Wrap extra foil up and around lid to seal closed. Turn heat down to low and cook salmon for 10-12 minutes.
Open foil, remove lid, and transfer salmon to a cutting board. Flake fish with a paring knife or fork.
To assemble, add slices of brie to crackers, add flakes of salmon, garnish with dill.
