Pickled Oyster Mushrooms

Garlic Chips

Smoked Egg Yolk

Salmon

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Acorn Squash

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut acorn squash in half, scoop out seeds, and brush with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place cut side down on a baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes until tender.

  2. 2

    Make Rye Gnocchi

    In a bowl, combine rye flour, mashed potato, egg, and salt. Knead until smooth. Roll into small pieces and shape into gnocchi. Boil in salted water for 2-3 minutes until they float, then drain.

  3. 3

    Pickle Oyster Mushrooms

    In a pot, combine white vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, then add oyster mushrooms. Remove from heat and let sit for at least 30 minutes to pickle.

  4. 4

    Make Garlic Chips

    Slice garlic cloves thinly. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat, add garlic slices, and fry until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Smoke Egg Yolks

    Place egg yolks in a heatproof dish. Prepare a smoker using wood chips and smoke the yolks for about 30 minutes until they take on a smoky flavor.

Cooking Salmon

  1. 6

    Sear the Salmon

    Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon fillets skin-side down for 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until cooked through.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, place a portion of roasted acorn squash, top with rye gnocchi, seared salmon, pickled oyster mushrooms, and garnish with garlic chips and smoked egg yolk.
