Preparation
- Marinate the salmon fillet in seawater for 30 minutes.
- Pat the salmon dry.
- Place the salmon in the smoker and set to medium heat until it starts to smoke.
- Remove the salmon from the smoker as soon as it is slightly translucent.
- Then pan-fry the salmon, skin side down in oil, until the desired doneness is reached.
- Season the salmon with freshly ground pepper while frying.
- Prepare the grapefruit by cutting the segments out from between the membranes.
- Cover the segments with olive oil and roast them using a blowtorch.
- Season with smoked salt to taste.
- Note: save the juice from the grapefruit for other preparations.
- Cut the onion and chop it finely.
- Also finely chop the garlic.
- Sauté this in butter (do not let it color).
- Add the pearl barley and briefly fry it.
- Deglaze with 2 dl stock, grapefruit juice, and 100 ml cream.
- Let it simmer gently.
- Once the liquid is absorbed, add another 1 dl stock and 50 cl cream.
- When this liquid is also absorbed, add another 1 dl stock and let it cook until this is also absorbed. Then the barley is cooked.
- If you want to give the barley a light pink color (related to the grapefruit), add a small amount of natural pink coloring during cooking.
- Finely chop the shallot and garlic.
- Sauté them in oil together with the thyme.
- Add the bisque and stock and reduce the mixture by one third.
- Strain the preparation.
- Mix in the cream and sour cream.
- Season with pepper, salt, and grated grapefruit zest.
- Just before serving, use a hand blender to foam to the desired consistency.
- Cut the potato into thick slices.
- Use the twister to make thin spirals from the slices.
- Rinse the spirals in water to remove the starch.
- Pat them dry.
- Fry the spirals in oil at 180°C.
- Sprinkle them with a mixture of salt and smoked paprika powder.
