Ōra King
Salmon Tataki
By Chef OLLIE HANSFORD
Serves: 2
INGREDIENTS
- 200g Ōra King Salmon
- 3x Coriander roots
- 50g Ginger
- 1x tbsp Honey
- 5x tbsp Dark Soy
- 1x tbsp Red Chilli Paste
- 1x Clove Garlic
- 1x tbsp Sugar
- 2x tbsp Wasabi Mustard
- 6x tbsp Crème Fraiche
- Furikake
GARNISH
- Pickled Cucumber
- Pickled Shallots
- Chives
METHOD
- To make the dressing, combine the coriander roots, soy, sugar, honey, ginger, garlic and chili paste into a pan and heat to infuse and slightly reduce to a more syrup consistency. Then pass through a sieve and leave to one side.
- In a bowl combine the crème fraiche, wasabi mustard and some salt and whisk until thick and soft peaks. Leave to one side.
- Remove the skin on the salmon and brush with a small amount of olive oil. Get a non-stick pan on a high heat until it starts smoking. Then very gently place the salmon into the pan and allow to sear for 5-8 seconds (depending on how thin your salmon is) then flip onto all sides and remove from the pan and allow to relax. Once rested for 5 minutes, slice the salmon into medium thick slices and brush with the soy glaze. Coat the salmon with the furikake, then it’s ready to serve.
TO SERVE
A spoonful of the wasabi mustard crème fraiche on the bottom on the plate and nicely spread out, top with 5-6 slices of the salmon. Garnish with slices of pickled cucumber, pickled onion, salt, and chive batons.
