Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cure the Salmon

    In a shallow dish, combine the grappa, salt, and black pepper. Place the Scottish salmon fillet in the mixture, ensuring it is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Balsamic Caviar

    In a small saucepan, bring balsamic vinegar to a simmer. Once reduced by half, cool and use a molecular gastronomy kit with sodium alginate and calcium chloride to create balsamic caviar pearls. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Heirloom Tomatoes

    Dice the heirloom tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Plating

    Once the salmon is cured, slice it thinly. On a serving plate, arrange slices of cured salmon, dollops of burrata cheese, pickled beets, and the diced heirloom tomatoes. Garnish with local microgreens and drizzle with balsamic caviar.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors.
