Directions
For The Cured Salmon
-
Place the salmon fillet in a deep tray. Place the strawberries into your blender or use a stick blender and pureè the strawberries.
Mix the strawberry pureè, lime zest/juice and rosé together and pour over the salmon. Now pack the coarse salt tightly on the salmon and gently spoon over some of the strawberry mixture but be careful not to wash away the salt.
Cover the dish with cling film and refridgerate for 6 hours or overnight.
Once the salmon is cured, rinse the fillet well, pat dry with kitchen paper and thinly slice the salmon with a very sharp knife.
For The Salad
-
Trim the strawberries and cut into quarters, also halve some of the blueberries. Mix all ingredients together in a salad bowl.
For The Lime And Rosè Vinaigrette
-
Combine all ingredients in a jar and shake until emulsified. Drizzle over the salad right before serving.
To Assemble
-
Serve the salad and Vinaigrette alongside the salmon garnished with lime, fresh strawberries and fresh fennel.
