RECIPES

Crispy Skin King Salmon with savoury whipped cream, pickled sea purslane and vegetables

MethodPrepare the King salmon, take the skin off lay flat and pat dry with paper towel. Season well with salt flakes and pepper and place between 2 sheets of baking paper, then sandwich between 2 thin baking trays. Place in a preheated oven at 180°C until super crispy and golden. Set aside.

Place the King salmon fillets on a cutting board or baking sheet. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.In a small saucepan add all the pickling ingredients and bring to the boil over high heat, simmer for 1-2 minutes. Place the radish, carrot and shallots in a heatproof bowl and pour over some of the pickling mixture. In another bowl, add the sea purslane and pour over the remaining pickling mixture, allow both to steep for 20 minutes, longer if time allows. Drain before serving.Put the cream in a mixing bowl and beat with a whisk until just barely thickened. Add ¼ teaspoon salt, some freshly ground pepper, the mustard, the cayenne and the lemon zest. Beat again until soft peaks form, but don’t let the cream get too stiff, finally fold in the chives. Taste and adjust seasoning.Put butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When butter begins to foam, add the King salmon portions and reduce heat slightly. Cook gently on one side for about 3 minutes, then flip and cook 1-2 minutes more. Turn off heat and let rest for 2 minutes. Salmon should be cooked through but moist. Be careful not to overcook.

PlatingTo serve, arrange the pickled vegetables on each plate, top with the pickled sea purslane then place a portion of King salmon on top, add a dollop of savoury whipped cream on each fillet and top with the crispy skin. Garnish with toasted pine nuts and micro herbs (if desired).

Ingredients4 King Salmon portions (250g each) Murray river salt flakesBlack pepper2 tbsp Butter Savoury whipped cream½ cup heavy cream2 tsp Dijon mustardpinch of Cayenne½ tsp Lemon zest1 tbsp Chives, finely chopped
