For the Cured Salmon

Method

For the Cured Salmon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cure

    In a bowl, mix together sea salt, brown sugar, chopped dill, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Cure the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillet skin-side down in a shallow dish and evenly coat it with the curing mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24-48 hours, depending on your desired level of cure.

  3. 3

    Rinse and Slice

    After curing, rinse the salmon under cold water to remove excess cure, and pat dry. Slice into thin pieces.

For the Pickled Ramp Salsa Verde

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine chopped pickled ramps, parsley, capers, and lemon juice.

  2. 5

    Add Olive Oil

    Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while stirring to create a cohesive salsa verde. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

For Assembly

  1. 6

    Toast the Bread

    Lightly toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Toast

    Spread a generous layer of crème fraîche on each slice of toasted bread. Top with slices of cured salmon, followed by a few cucumber slices.

  3. 8

    Finish with Salsa Verde

    Spoon the pickled ramp salsa verde over the top and garnish with fresh dill.
