This is a complex dish but any of the constituent parts cooked by cooked on their own. It really proves that salmon can take on really big, bold flavours.

Method

Peking salmon听

Place all the ingredients apart from the salmon fillet in a sauce pan and slowly bring to a gentle simmer, simmer for 5-10 minutes so the stock infuses, set a side to cool.听

Place your salmon in an air tight container and pour the cold infusion over and refrigerate for 12-24 hours.听

Coffee xo听

Place all your ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer, slightly reduce your stock.听

Take off the heat and allow to cool.听

Place your salmon fillet in an airtight container and cure your salmon with your stock, refrigerate for 12-24 hours听

Green tea sashimi听

Brew your green tea bags in a saucepan.听

Place rest of the ingredients in the saucepan and leave to infuse.听

Lightly salt your salmon fillet.听

Pour over the infusion to cover the salmon.听

Refrigerate the salmon and, if it isn't fully submerged under the cure, make sure you听turn every 2 hours for 12 hours so it gains an even cure throughout.听

Sweet potato pur茅e听

Peel and dice your sweet potato.听

Gently saut茅 with oil in a sauce pan, add enough water to cover and cook until soft.听

Place into a blender and gradually add your white chocolate to emulsify the pur茅e.听

Blend until smooth and thick. Set aside.听

Mango pur茅e听

Place the sugar and vinegar with the vanilla in a pan and bring to the boil and reduce slightly.听

Peel and dice the mango and add to your stock syrup. Cook out until the mixture breaks down and is thick.听

Blend your mango to a smooth pur茅e and set aside.听

For the Peking salmon听

Place a pan on a gentle heat or (on the听BBQ if you have one to add even more flavour), add oil and a knob of butter, wait until the butter foams and add your salmon skin side down.听

Turn your salmon once colour has been gained on the skin and cook for a further minute.听

Set aside and rest the salmon.听

Xo salmon听

You have 3 different ways of cooking this piece of salmon, if you have a blowtorch, gently torch the salmon until it鈥檚 nicely caramelised, (don鈥檛 worry the salmon has already partly cooked for the curing process) and don鈥檛 be afraid to serve it 鈥減ink鈥� and translucent. BBQ is another option, or just simple pan fry skin side down like the Peking salmon fillet in oil and butter for 1 minute each side.

Set aside and rest.听

Green tea sashimi听

Rinse the cure off your salmon fillet. With a sharp knife slice as finely as possible taking it away from the skin.听

The salmon will appear raw because essentially it is, sashimi is raw fish, but this is totally safe because the cure you鈥檝e made 鈥渃ooks鈥� the salmon gently.听听

Serve cold.听

Whipped goats cheese听

Place all the ingredients in a mixer, if not available a hand whisk will be fine.听

Whisk until soft peaks and place in a piping bag and set aside until you serve.听

Plating up听

Swipe and splat your mango pur茅e, be creative and messy as you like!听

Swipe and splat your sweet potato pur茅e.听听

Layer your sashimi neatly.听

Arrange your other salmon around the plate however desired.听

Pipe blobs of the whipped goats cheese to personal preference (I used 3).

If you can access siratcha hot sauce blob the same amount as the goats cheese, this balances the plate with flavour and colour, any other chilli is suitable.听

If you can access micro herbs, I use nastaturium and micro coriander as this works perfectly with the dish.听

Serve and enjoy, be prepared this dish does pack heat!
