Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your ingredients: 1 pack of smoked salmon and a handful of fresh salad greens. If you’re using a store-bought salad mix, it’s a great shortcut. If you have capers on hand, they are a wonderful addition that complements the smoked salmon beautifully.
Step 2
Take the smoked salmon and gently roll it up, starting from the thinner edge. Roll it tightly to create a pleasing shape.
Step 3
When rolled, the salmon will resemble a lovely rose flower. Arrange these ‘salmon roses’ artfully on your serving plate for a visually appealing presentation.
Step 4
Now, let’s prepare the star of the show – the yuzu dressing! In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of yuzu jam, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Add a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined. This creates a vibrant and zesty dressing that’s perfect for your salad.
