How to make organic smoked salmon

Organic smoked salmon with sweet and sour shallots, radishes and lemon scented olive oil

Serves 4

Prep: 15 minutes

100ml white vinegar

5g caster sugar

100ml water

100g whole round shallots

250g smoked salmon

½ bunch of French breakfast radishes

30ml lemon scented olive oil

50g fresh baby pea shoots

Make the marinade for the shallots by combining the vinegar and the sugar in 100ml of water. Bring to the boil and allow to go cold.

Cut the shallots into very fine rings and place in to the cooled vinegar mixture, allow to infuse (this can be for up to 1 hour).

Choose the dish that you are going to serve your smoked salmon on and carefully arrange the fish.

Slice your radishes very finely to the same thickness as the shallots and place into ice cold water for half an hour.

When you are ready to serve, pick the shallot rings out of the marinade and scatter liberally over the smoked salmon.

Drizzle with the lemon scented olive oil and scatter over the radishes and finish with the fresh pea shoots.

Serve with slices of lemon, good bread and a little more salad.
