Salmon in Ginger

This is another salmon dish in which the ‘cooking’ is done by marinating. Unlike gravadlax, this marinade is not dry and the salmon is sliced before pickling in the lime juice and spices.

To help you slice the salmon thinly, put it in the freezer for 30 minutes before using it. People who like smoked salmon will love this recipe.

These quantities are for eight people as a starter. Halve the amounts for four.

Method

Slice the salmon across the fillets after freezing as described above. Mix all the ingredients together in a large non-metallic bowl and add the salmon strips, mixing them in with your fingertips.

Marinade, covered, in the refrigerator for five hours.

At the end of that time, discard the marinade and serve the salmon strips with a light salad and some brown bread and butter. Garnish with wedges of lime.

Do not try keeping the salmon in the marinade. The flavor will start to deteriorate after the stipulated time.
