Summer is the perfect time for simple yet elegant recipes. One of the main reasons I returned home to Scotland was the amazing produce. This Smoked Salmon recipe is super easy but really charming to help you bring in those long summer evenings.
Serves 4
120g Smoked Salmon
1 or 2 shallots
Pinch salt
Mixed salad
1 Cucumber
Small bunch dill
Vinaigrette
2 tomatoes
Drizzle of olive oil
100ml Mayonnaise
100ml double cream
1-2 shallots
Small bunch dill
Lemon Juice
Smoked salmon can be bought pre sliced or you can buy a whole side and slice it thinly yourself.
Pick, wash and dry salad. Peel and deseed cucumber then slice thinly. Pick and chop dill not too fine and mix through the cucumber. Add a little vinaigrette.
Blanch the tomato in boiling, salted water for ten seconds, then refresh in iced salted water. When cold take out, skin, quarter and deseed them then cut into even sized dice.
Put mayonnaise in a bowl and add some double cream. Peel and chop shallots finely. Chop dill. Add shallot and sill to the mayonnaise and mix well. Season and check consistency looking for it to be smooth.
When plating, arrange the smoked salmon on the plate into a nice floret style. Place the cucumber salad to the side. Place a little salad in the middle then dill dressing over and around.
So simple – So tasty!
Enjoy!!!
