Beetroot-Cured Salmon and Cucumber Jelly

This really does tick all of the flavour boxes when you’re looking for a great, light dish. The salmon is given a sweet and earthy marinade, the horseradish adds a little heat, the cucumber keeps things light and refreshing, while the subtle hint of dry gin gives it a little kick. It’s heaven on a plate.

Dish Difficulty: Medium
Serves: 6

Preparation

For the beetroot-cured salmon:

  1. Excluding the salmon, blitz all the ingredients in a food processor, place over the cling film and wrap the salmon.
  2. Leave for 24 hours.
  3. Gently wash and pat dry.
  4. Keep cling filmed or in an air tight container until ready to use. When ready to slice discard the end slices as these are likely to be too salty. I prefer to slice the salmon as thinly as possible so it melts in the mouth!

For the horseradish cream:

  1. Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks.
  2. Add the horseradish and season to taste.

For the cucumber jelly:

  1. Mix ingredients 1 in a food processor.
  2. Pass through a muslin cloth and set aside.
  3. Bring ingredients 2 to the boil. Add gelatine and leave to cool.
  4. Place a terrine mould in a bain marie of ice water. Add ingredients 1.
  5. Mix in ingredients 2 with a fork, ensuring everything is mixed well.
  6. Store in the fridge immediately and set.
