Thanks everyone for voting me to the top 9 on FOODBUZZ.

As Christmas passes and the countdown for New Year is closing, I present to you a simple and quick appetizer - Smoked Salmon with spicy dill sauce. A tiny and quick post with lots of love and best wishes for every year ahead!! J

Ingredients:

Smoked salmon fillets - 2 deboned and rinsed for removing excess salt

Lime juice - from 1 whole lemon

Dill - 1 sprig for garnish

Peppercorns - few for garnish

For sauce:

Dill- 4 sprigs very finely chopped

Butter- 1 teaspoon

Green chillies - 3 chopped finely

Black pepper - ½ teaspoon

Cream - 4 table spoon

Cheddar cheese - 1 tablespoon freshly grated

Parmesan cheese - 1 teaspoon

Garlic - 2 cloves crushed

Salt for seasoning

Method:

1.       Cut salmon into 1 inch cubes and soak in lime juice for 15mins. If you want to infuse a lot of lime flavour, keep for more time.

2.       Meanwhile, prepare sauce. Heat a pan and melt butter

3.       Add garlic and sauté till aroma lingers.

4.       Add green chillies, dill and cream. Mix well.

5.       Add both cheese and let them melt in.

6.       If sauce is too thick, add a little hot boiling water to perfect the consistency. If you plan to top with sauce and serve, I recommend a little thick sauce otherwise, it will be too gooey.

7.       Now plate the salmon and serve topped with a spoon of sauce, some dill and a pepper corn.

Tips n Tricks:

·         Well, some of us can’t adjust to the taste of smoked salmon. If you have a blow torch, use that to sear the salmon marinated in lime juice and pepper. Otherwise, just marinate in lime juice and pepper, then pan. And serve with sauce.
