Salmon

Cucumber & Caper Relish

Blue Cheese Spread

Irish Brown Bread

Method

Salmon Preparation

  1. 1

    Cure the Salmon

    In a bowl, mix together the Irish whiskey, brown sugar, kosher salt, and chopped dill. Place the salmon fillet in a shallow dish and cover it with the curing mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 24-48 hours.

Cucumber & Caper Relish Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Relish

    In a bowl, combine diced cucumber, chopped capers, red onion, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

Blue Cheese Spread Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Spread

    In a mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese, crumbled blue cheese, garlic powder, and chopped chives until smooth. Set aside.

Irish Brown Bread Preparation

  1. 4

    Bake the Bread

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually stir in the buttermilk until a soft dough forms. Turn onto a floured surface, knead gently, shape into a round loaf, and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Plate

    Slice the cured salmon and serve it on a plate with lettuce leaves, cucumber & caper relish, blue cheese spread, and slices of Irish brown bread on the side.
