Soy, Chilli and Citrus Cured Salmon

Soy, Chilli and Citrus Cured Salmon

By OcadoLifePublished on 27 February 2023A fabulous starter for any occasion, this simple but impressive-looking Soy, Chilli and Citrus Cured Salmon comes together in minutes. A favourite of chef, author and caterer Lara Lee, the salmon is ready to eat after just a light cure in a zingy dressing, which goes beautifully with shallots and green chilli. For an extra layer of flavour, finish the dish with a sprinkle of Japanese seasoning shichimi togarashi – an aromatic blend of chilli, sesame seed, seaweed, ginger and orange peel.
