Sea Urchin Tartare with Puffed Salmon Skin - Makes 4 pieces

Chef's Note

To puff the salmon skin for this recipe you must dehydrate the skin in advance, so be prepared. If you have a dehydrator you can use this for best results.

Ingredients

• Skin from 4 salmon portions
• 8 pcs Sea Urchin Harvest Uni Gold
• 1/2 an eschalot, finely diced
• 1/2 Bunch chives, finely chopped
• 1/2 a small pickled onion, finely diced
• 3 Small cornichons, finely diced
• 1 tsp Capers, diced
• 1 Juice of half a lemon
• 20ml Extra virgin olive oil
• 200ml Vegetable oil, for frying
• Chopped chives, to serve
• Dill sprigs, to serve

Method

1. Pre-heat your oven to its lowest temperature.
2. Remove all the scales and excess flesh from the salmon skins and lay on a wire rack over a tray.
3. Place on the bottom shelf of the oven, leaving the oven door slightly open.
4. Allow the salmon skins to dehydrate. This can take up to 6 hours. Just check the skin occasionally.
5. Once the salmon skins are dry, place the vegetable oil into a small pot and bring to a high temperature.
6. Fry the salmon skins in the oil until they puff up, remove with steel tongs, and place some paper towel. Set aside.
7. Dice 4 pieces of sea urchin and mix with the remaining ingredients.
8. Spoon some mixture onto the puffed salmon skins.
9. Top with a whole piece of Uni Gold sea urchin, garnish with chopped chives and dill sprigs.
