SMOKED SALMON WITH LEMON CRÈME FRAÎCHE & PICKLED CUCUMBER
Serves 6
Whole fillet hot-smoked salmon
Lemon crème fraîche
200g crème fraîche
1 lemon, zest and juice
1 tsp black peppercorns
Pickled cucumber
400ml rice wine vinegar
100g caster sugar
150g salt
500g cucumber
1 lemon, sliced
1. To make the pickle, add vinegar, sugar, salt and 400ml of water to a saucepan. Heat until sugar and salt dissolved. Leave to cool.
2. Meanwhile, peel and shave cucumber lengthways. This is best done with a mandolin, but you can also use a peeler, as long as the peelings are very thin. Cut the lemon into thin slices.
3. Add the shaved cucumber and lemon slices to the pickling liquor and leave overnight in the fridge to pickle.
4. The next day, combine crème fraîche with lemon zest and juice in a small bowl. Grind peppercorns in a mortar and pestle and sprinkle on top of the crème fraîche.
5. Serve the hot-smoked salmon cold on a large platter with a big dollop of lemon crème fraîche and pickled cucumber on top.
