Method

  • step 1

    Fold the crème fraîche with the horseradish and vodka, if using, with a little seasoning. Chill.

  • step 2

    In a bowl, mix the vinegar, olive oil and honey. Toss half the dressing through the beetroot and chill until ready to serve.

  • step 3

    Before serving, divide the slices of salmon between 8 plates, then top with a spoonful of the crème fraîche and bring up the sides of the salmon to make a ‘flower’. Arrange the salad and beetroot round the salmon, scatter with the dill. Grind over some black pepper, drizzle with the remaining dressing and serve with toast, if you like.

Tasty, easy to assemble and thoroughly enjoyed as a light starter.

Easy but impressive lunch or starter. I added some sundried tomatoes.

This is an excellent combination that works really well. Try also making a small nest of beetroot strips as the base of the starter and then top with the creme fresh and Vodka. After the smoked salmon, add a few salmon eggs (Salmon Caviar) as these add both extra taste and finish off very nicely.…

We have made a very similar recipe (perhaps the original) several times as a starter - with a shot of chilled vodka to go with it. Really different and delicious.

Had it as a starter for Christmas lunch and everybody really enjoyed it will certainly use it again. The creme fraiche was beautifully light and complimented the smoked salmon.
