Method

1. Mix the dry and the wet ingredients together and rub all over the salmon. Leave in the fridge covered with a towel for about 4-5 hours or until the salmon has firmed up a bit.

 

2. Wash off the salt mix and dry the salmon with some kitchen paper or a towel. Slice as thin as you can and rub with a couple of teaspoons of sloe gin and olive oil.

 

3. Serve with some Philadelphia mixed with some lemon juice, chopped parsley and a little bit more ground juniper (careful it’s quite pungent) and some oatcakes & sliced cucumber.

 

Perfect to serve as a starter.
