The tandoori chicken dish on that menu will be hot, and would be my recommendation.

Sorry to but in...
But, in this case, the salmon IS hot, as in heated.
I served 9 of them last night and all plates came back empty. So, I can't have been that bad in the galley.
The salad is very fresh too, maybe because of the baby gem used instead of some of the other leaves they have been using of late.
Out of the two starter options, the Tom and Moz looks and appears to be nicer. The prawn starter, the prawns were all eaten, but the rest of the plate was 50/50.

BA may of course be different, but generally "hot smoked salmon" means that the salmon will be cooked during the smoking process - so it will have the texture of cooked salmon but with a smoky taste. I would imagine that in this dish it would be served cold, but it can be warmed.
