Three readers share the spring faves they like to dish up – these centrepieces always impress…&nbsp;

<h2>Side of salmon with harissa and pomegranate​ from Kristina and her husband Nick</h2>
Make oven-roasted, <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/Side-of-salmon-with-harissa-and-pomegranate?recipe_id=bb25ff7a-c7de-11ed-82bf-fff4084e13ee" target="_blank">honey-glazed salmon</a> the star of the show, bejewelled with pomegranate seeds and fresh mint leaves. Leftovers tip; smash up potatoes, mix with some fried onion and garlic and make potato cakes, with a fried egg, for breakfast.
Kristina says: "We don’t eat meat, and we absolutely love salmon, and adding harissa and pomegranate really elevates it. I’ll do baby new potatoes with some mint, and lots of green vegetables." " I’ll bring in the salmon on a platter, with its jewel-like colours, and everyone goes 'Oooooh!' "

<h2>Italian pastiera di grano from Nicky and her daughter Giorgia</h2>
<a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/Italian-pastiera-di-grano?recipe_id=cf1a55db-c7de-11ed-82bf-23a637e0e594" target="_blank">This traditional Neapolitan tart</a> is usually made with Italian pr e-cooked wheat grains, but we’ve made ours with risotto rice, which is easier to find in the UK and just as delicious. Use a palette knife to help you dust the pastry strips – cover the bits you don’t want to sprinkle with the blade.
Nicky says: "I lived near the Amalfi Coast, south of the Bay of Naples. The pie is quite the ritual at Easter. Everyone has their own secret twist, but the ricotta cheese, orange blossom water and creamy rice are considered true flavours of the region, so the dessert is a real source of pride. Families discuss the preparations at length – everyone plays a part."

<h2>Greek-style leg of lamb​ from Rhodora, her husband Jim and daughter Mathilda </h2>
This <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/Greek-style-leg-of-lamb?recipe_id=9ff3b7b9-c7de-11ed-82bf-8b5209b057db" target="_blank">Greek-style leg of lamb</a> is an Easter showstopper that makes a great centrepiece to impress your guests. Cooking tip; stud the lamb with garlic so that it is infused throughout the whole leg as it cooks.
Rhodora says: "We’re quite traditional at Easter – we love hot cross buns – but lamb is the centrepiece at a big feast where everyone gathers, it’s as if they’re coming out of winter hibernation!" "Leg of lamb is great for when you have a lot of people – it can easily be shared around. Rosemary is the main flavouring, and we add lots of vegetables – broccoli, glazed carrots and piles of potatoes – and gravy of course. You can also roast off peppers and courgettes, and add garlic and olives for extra flavours. Cauliflower cheese is a firm favourite with Mathilda, so that usually makes an appearance as well."&nbsp;
