Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

800g very fresh salmon
2 lemons
2 tbsp chopped dill
2 shallots , finely chopped
2 tsp caster sugar
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp capers , drained and dried
salad leaves and brown bread, to serve

Steps:

Rinse and dry the salmon, then wrap in cling film and freeze for 1 hr to make slicing easier. Meanwhile, finely grate the zest from one lemon and squeeze the juice from both. Mix in a bowl with the dill, shallots, sugar and 1 tsp sea salt. Add the olive oil and whisk to amalgamate.
Unwrap the salmon and set on a large chopping board. Cut wafer-thin slices on the diagonal, as you would smoked salmon. Arrange a layer of the salmon over a large shallow dish, then spoon over a little of the marinade - spreading it to evenly coat the fish. Continue slicing and layering, finishing with a layer of marinade. Cover with cling film, directly over the fish, and chill for at least 2 hrs or overnight.
To serve, arrange the salmon slices over a platter and scatter over the capers and some salad leaves. Serve with thinly sliced brown bread or soda bread.

SMOKED SALMON WITH CARPACCIO OF RAW BEETROOT, HORSERADISH AND WATERCRESS

Smoked Salmon with Carpaccio of Raw Beetroot, Horseradish and Watercress image

Wild smoked salmon is so amazing that it's worth spending that bit extra cash on it. This is a great dish - the beetroot goes all crispy and cuts right through the fattiness of the salmon.
