How To Make A Cured Salmon Dish For A Healthy Start To The Week

Step 1: Create beetroot salt cure

Coarsely grate beetroot and combine it with the sugar, salt and coriander seeds in a bowl. This will be the cure for the salmon fillet.

Step 2: Wrap the salmon fillet

Line a large dish with two layers of plastic wrap, overlapping slightly, and extending over the sides enough to enclose salmon. Spread half the beetroot mixture in the base of the dish. Place salmon on beetroot mixture; top with remaining mixture. Wrap tightly and refrigerate overnight.

Step 3: Make the pickle

For the Pickled beetroot, boil, steam or microwave beetroot until just tender; cool. Cut beetroot into matchsticks; combine with vinegar, sugar and sea salt flakes in a small bowl and stand for 1 hour.

Step 4: Prepare the slaw

For the Root vege slaw, combine yoghurt, lemon juice and horseradish in a bowl. Add carrot, celeriac, parsnip, fennel and fennel fronds; toss gently to combine. Season to taste.

Step 5: Remove salmon from cure

Take dish with salmon fillet out of the fridge. Unwrap cured salmon and scrape clean of beetroot salt mixture with a spoon. Take care with beetroot, as it will stain. Lift salmon onto a piece of baking paper; discard beetroot salt cure.
