  • 2 preserved lemons, finely diced
  • handful of pea shoots
  • drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, to serve

Method

  1. First, lightly pickle the radish slices by putting them in a small bowl with the vinegar for at least 30 mins. Meanwhile, mix the horseradish with the whipped cream in a small bowl and season with salt.

  2. Lay 100g of the long salmon slices on 4 rectangular plates in a neat rectangle shape. Put 3 discs of beetroot on top of the salmon in different places. Arrange about 6 slices of the pickled radish around the salmon too. Add a few orange segments and some of the preserved lemon.

  3. Next, shape the horseradish into quenelles by using 2 teaspoons to scoop and roll it. Put 3 quenelles on each plate. Finally, scatter with the pea shoots, and drizzle over a little oil before serving.

  • Recipe Tip

    Horseradish

    Make your own horseradish cream if you can, otherwise buy the best you can find for a stronger flavour.

  • Recipe Tip

    Get ahead

    All the individual components can be prepped a day ahead and stored in separate containers in the fridge overnight. You can also arrange the salmon on serving plates and wrap in cling film, ready to serve.

Really liked this - so easy to do and the colours look really appealing together. Served as a starter and my guests loved it.

Delicious, made as a starter for a Christmas dinner party and everyone cleared their plates. Prep done in advance and easy to put together just before serving. I used slightly smaller quantities to reduce the size of the dish but I'll definately make again.
