Yuzu-Cured Salmon Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cure

    In a bowl, mix together the yuzu juice, sugar, salt, and Japanese chili flakes until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved.

  2. 2

    Cure the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillet in a shallow dish and pour the yuzu cure mixture over it, ensuring that the fillet is well coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24-48 hours, depending on how cured you want the salmon.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Crème Fraîche

    In a small bowl, mix the crème fraîche with a pinch of salt and some chopped chives. This will be used as a topping.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once the salmon is cured, slice it thinly and serve it on a plate. Top with the crème fraîche mixture and additional chives if desired.
