Warm Salad of Marinated & Smoked Salmon, Saffron Potatoes, Horseradish Dressing
Recipe by
chef Chris Staines



Method
To make the dressing in a food blender:
Mix the 2 egg yolks, mustard and horseradish in the blender until mixed well, now with the blender still going slowly add the red wine vinegar, next slowly add all of the oil until the dressing starts to thicken, next pass through a chinois and reserve.

Next blitz all of the ingredients for the salmon marinade until almost smooth. Reserve.

Ask your fishmonger to skin and de bone the salmon and smoked salmon and to trim it to the royal cut, which is the juiciest and fattiest part of the fillet.

When you have done this you need to rub your marinade liberally over your raw salmon, and leave for 1 1/2 - 2 hours, wash off and pat dry with kitchen towel. Meanwhile cut the potatoes into cylinders using a pastry cutter, cook them very slowly in salted water and saffron.

To assemble the dish:
Cut the cylinders of potato into slices and garnish with 2 or 3 corn niblets, a healthy dollop of caviar and a radish crisp. (optional) Spread your dressing thinly over the surface of a plate and place 6 potatoes evenly around the plate. next fry your sliced salmon in a dry non stick pan until golden and crispy. Place between each potato disc, next build your salad leaves in the middle of the ring and sit back to enjoy this tasty summer starter.
