Packed with citrus zest and served in edible, crispy shells, this gravlax recipe paired perfectly with a clementine- and lemon-laced cocktail. Cure the salmon in vodka the day before, but for less time than traditional recipes call for. The flavour of the salmon shines through; the fish has a beautiful glossy colour, and a silky texture to boot.

Ingredients

Salmon Gravlax

1 tbsp dill, finely chopped
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp clementine zest
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
3/4 lb (340 g) skinless salmon fillet, cut into 1/2-inch (1 cm) slices
1 tbsp (15 ml) gin or vodka

Canapés

1/2 cup (125 ml) 35% cream
4 tsp (20 ml) whole-grain mustard
36 store-bought crispy hors-d’oeuvre shells
Dill fronds, for serving
Mullet roe, for serving (optional)

Preparation

Salmon Gravlax

In a small bowl, combine the dill, salt, sugar, citrus zests and black pepper.
In an 11 x 8-inch (28 x 20 cm) rectangular glass dish, arrange the salmon slices in a single layer. Pour the gin or vodka over the salmon. Sprinkle with the salt mixture.
Cover with plastic wrap. Weigh down with a heavy object such as another glass dish of the same size. Refrigerate for 24 hours. Drain and pat dry.
On a work surface, dice the salmon into small pieces. Keep refrigerated.

Canapés

When ready to serve, in a bowl, beat the cream with a whisk until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the mustard using a spatula.
Fill the hors-d’oeuvre shells with the mustard cream and top with the gravlax. Garnish each canapé with a dill frond and, if desired, mullet roe.
