Ingredients

Recipe for 12 Tapas

Salmon

400 Gr

Salmon filet skin-off

2 Handful(s)

Wood chips for smoking

Dill cream

150 Ml

35% whipping cream

1 Unit(s)

Lemon

1 Sprig(s)

Dill

2 Tbsp

Capers

Preparation time: 30 min

Preheat your Fried at 425 °F

Preparation

Zest and juice the lemons.

Chop most of the dill and leave a couple nice branches for a garnish.

Cut the salmon into medium sized cubes (macedoine).

Whip the cream until you form peaks and set aside in the fridge.

In a skillet with a good quantity of hot oil, fry the capers for roughly one minute or until nice and crispy. Set aside on paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Smoking the salmon

Place the wood chips in the bottom of a cast iron pot or skillet. Place the salmon on a perforated or slotted tray. With a lighter, on a barbecue or on a stovetop, heat the chips until they start smoking. Place the salmon tray ontop, remove from the heat and cover with a metal mixing bowl, cover or plastic wrap. Let smoke for 3-6 minutes depending on how smoky you want the result to be.

Once ready, set aside the salmon in the fridge.
Plating

Gently fold the lemon zest, juice and dill and small smoked salmon cubes into the whipped cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer this mix to the serving bowls of your choice and garnish with a nice sprig of dill and some fried capers.
