Rosettes of smoked salmon with sweet cucumber salad

Yield: 1 Servings

Measure Ingredient
½ \N Cucumber, very thinly sliced
½ cup Thinly sliced onion rings
¼ cup Castor sugar or granulated sugar ground fine in a food processor
1¼ teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoons Cider vinegar plus
2 teaspoons Cider vinegar
1 \N Piece smoked Irish salmon, (8 ounce) cut from a whole side (8 to 12)
1 \N Sprig flat-leaf parsley, fennel or chervil, to garnish

Mix the cucumber with the onion, castor sugar, salt and cider vinegar.

Leave to marinate for about 1 hour.

Cut the smoked salmon into 16 to 20 slices about ⅛- to ¼-inch thick, cutting straight down onto the skin. Wrap one slice around your finger and set in the center of a large plate. Wrap 3 or 4 more slices around the center slice to form a rosette. Repeat the process to make 3 more rosettes.

Drain the cucumber slices and arrange them in a circle around the smoked salmon rosettes. Garnish with sprigs of flat-leaf parsley, dill or chervil.

Yield: 4 servings
