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.

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 baby beetroots, scrubbed
1/2 lemon, juiced
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon good balsamic vinegar
14 ounces (400g) wild smoked salmon
Small bunch watercress
1 by 2.5cm (1-inch) piece fresh horseradish

Steps:

  • Using a metal speed peeler, shave the beetroot into a bowl. Add the lemon juice, a little salt and pepper, a good lug of olive oil and the balsamic vinegar, and mix.
  • On a large plate, wave the salmon around freestyle. Throw on some sprigs of watercress, then the beetroot. Using a sharp grater, such as a microplane, finely grate the horseradish over. Add a little of the beetroot juice and a bit of pepper, then finish with a drizzle of olive oil.
