INGREDIENTS
1 4-5lb side of salmon skin, off pin, bone out
2 cups apricot napage or jam
1 cup brandy
1/2 cup chili flakes
Salt and pepper, to taste
Pickled Watermelon Radish
2 ea watermelon radish
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1 clove garlic
1 tsp chili flakes
1 sprig dill, fresh
METHOD
1. Make sure salmon is clean of all skin, bones, and scales. Salt and pepper the whole side. Sear on a hot skillet until medium rare.
2. While the salmon is still hot, glace the protein side up. Bake for 8 minutes to set glace. Let cool. For the glace: combine all ingredients and cook until smooth (may need to add a little water to help thin if needed).
For the Radish: clean and thinly slice the watermelon radish, bring vinegar, water, salt, and sugar to a boil. Turn off heat and immediately add the garlic, chili flakes, and dill. Pour over the radishes and store over night.
