Red onion, finely chopped

Pickled red onion

Salmon roe

Start by making Kombu soy. Boil 270ml of soy sauce with a leaf of Kombu kelp and the peel from half a lime. Simmer until the liquid has reduced by half, then strain and cool.
Next, we make kalamansi cream by whipping together 100g crème fraîche with 30g kalamansi purée. If you can't get hold of kalamansi purée, this can be replaced with lime juice. When the cream has doubled in volume, put it in a small piping bag.
We can now start assembling the tartare. Mix together salmon, chives and finely chopped red onion in a bowl. Then add two teaspoons of Kombu soy and mix well.
Place the mixture in a round shape and press down a little so that the mass retains its shape. Then add a topping of salmon roe and pickled red onion, and place small beads of the kalamansi cream on top. Perfect to serve with crostini!

As we say in Norway: Velbekomme! (Bon appetít!)

There are many different ways to cook salmon. Try Hermosa's other speciality: Grilled salmon with mashed potatoes and asparagus!

By the way, did you know that Norway exports more than 1,250,000 tonnes of salmon every year?
