Citrus Cured Salmon

Horseradish Cream

1. In a bowl, combine cream and horseradish. Steep for a minimum of 3 hours, maximum 24 hours.

4. Remove gelatin, squeeze with hands removing water. Place in horseradish infused cream. Stir until gelatin dissolves.

5. Heat cream to 70 degrees. Mixture should be thin enough to pour and thick enough to set over fish.

6. Spoon Horseradish Cream over Citrus Cured Salmon.

7. Place in fridge to set before slicing, approximately 1 hour.

Pea Puree

4. Transfer to a container and place in fridge to cool.

Lemon Sauce

1. Place 2 cups of water, 1 tablespoon of salt and lemon peel in a pot. Bring to a boil, remove from heat and strain through a sieve. Discard water and repeat process. Discard water.

2. Place lemon peel in the same pot with 3 cups water, sugar and 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a simmer over low heat. Cook until the peels are tender, approximately 1 hour.

3. Remove from heat, add saffron, stir and set aside to cool, approximately 1 hour.

4. Strain lemon syrup. Place peel, 1 cup lemon syrup and lemon juice in a blender. Puree until smooth.

5. While blending, add oil in a slow and steady stream.

6. Season with remaining salt and set aside for assembly.

Horseradish Oil
