Soy Cured Salmon
A popular choice due to its versatile flavour, salmon is a delicious addition to any recipe. Put your culinary skills to the test with the following Soy Cured Salmon recipe. For many years I have enjoyed using Asian and Oriental ingredients and flavour in my cooking and this is a recipe that I created based on that. In some ways, it is an Oreiental version of Gravadlax!
Ingredients
Method
Cut the salmon in half along its' length. Place the salmon in a deep dish. In a liquidiser, blend together the remaining ingredients and pour over
the salmon. Cover with cling film and marinate for twenty four hours.
After twenty four hours, remove the salmon from the marinade and rinse under cold running water to remove excess salt from the soy sauce.
In a liquidiser, blend together the sesame oil, wasabi paste and honey into a thick paste and toss with red cabbage and spring onions. Chill in the fridge for at least an hour.
After cleaning the liquidiser place the wasabi paste, lemon juice, soy sauce and sugar into the jug and blend to a smooth paste. Then slowly drizzle in the sesame oil to create a smooth dressing. Pour the dressing into a squeeze bottle and reserve,
To Serve: Take each piece of salmon and slice into pieces about a ½ centimetre thick. Divide the cabbage salad between four serving plates and top with four or five slices of salmon. Drizzle over the wasabi dressing and garnish with the lemon, orange, micro coriander and micro pak choy!!
