Salmon sashimi, driven by nostalgia.

I get the best food ideas when I can’t sleep. That was the case last night, Florian has a nasty cold and snores like crazy.  I knew that Ocado was coming in the morning, bringing a piece of prime salmon loin, the intention  was to wrap it into sushi.  But I thought I could try and bring back a bit of magic of the old days; one of the most awesome plates in Dinings is seabass carpaccio with truffles. I served my salmon quite thickly sliced. Made ponzu ( equal quantities of soy sauce, lemon juice and rice vinegar). Spooned out some of my remaining truffle salsa bought in Lucca. Had no chives, so a little spring onions had to do. A drizzle of truffle oil at the end. I attempted ponzu jelly too,  but added too little gelatine and it didn’t work out. Next time I’ll double it. Might even open the jar with my 2 Lucca truffles, still hidden in the pantry.  It will certainly be done again.
