Preparation Method

PARFAIT

  1. In a saucepan, combine 1¼ cups heavy cream with ½ cup water, 17 ounces smoked salmon, 2 teaspoons Champagne vinegar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Heat for 4 minutes or until the salmon is cooked.
  2. Bloom sheets of gelatin in ice water.
  3. Whip the whipping cream to stiff peaks.
  4. Blend and strain the salmon mixture through a fine chinois. Place the blended salmon mixture into a mixing bowl and dissolve the bloomed gelatin into it.
  5. Fold the whipped cream into the salmon mixture. (Note: Make sure the salmon mixture has cooled down enough before folding with the whipped cream.)
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for 6 hours or overnight



GRAVLAX

  2. Blend toasted ingredients in a food processor until fine, and then mix with gin, salt, sugar, and dill.
  3. Spread the mixture over the salmon and wrap it in cheesecloth. Refrigerate, skin side up, for 24 hours with a weight on top. Flip the salmon, flesh side up, and cure for another 24 hours.
