"It’s a good idea to semi-freeze the prepared salmon for an hour so that it's easier to slice.”- Abigail Donnelly

Ingredients

  • 3 large beetroots, peeled and grated
  • 1 T coriander seeds
  • 70 g sugar
  • 70 g coarse salt
  • 30 g fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 kg salmon side, skin removed
  • caperberries, for serving
  • crème fraîche or horseradish, for serving
  • lemon wedges, for serving

Cooking Instructions

1. Blend the beetroot, coriander seeds, sugar and salt until smooth. Add the dill. Spread the purée onto both sides of the fish. Wrap in clingwrap and chill overnight.

2. Remove the clingwrap, scrape off the purée and freeze for 1 hour before slicing. Serve with the caperberries, crème fraîche and lemon wedges.
