Recipe by  

Julie's Salmon & Prawn with Lime is dedicated to Terry and Julie, our neighbours on The Isle of Man, who served us the most stunning starter in the field of human culinary endeavours! I promise you - you eat this and no starter will ever seem the same again. M-D and I were transported to a place that few ever get to see... the pinnacle of goodness and taste and salivating cherubs floating on clouds of... er, yeah, okay, I got a bit carried away there. But so will you when you try Julie's Salmon & Prawn with Lime

16 - 20 large
cooked prawns (peeled but tails left on)

How to Cook Julie's Salmon & Prawn with Lime

  1. Mix the crème fraîche with the horseradish and a little salt and freshly-ground black pepper. Arrange the smoked salmon and prawns on individual plates, then top with a good dollop of the horseradish cream.
  2. For the dressing, zest one of the limes then extract the juice from both. Whisk the lime juice and zest with the honey, grated ginger and a little salt and freshly-ground black pepper. Then whisk in the olive oil. Toss the salad in the dressing and pile on top of the salmon and prawns (any remaining dressing can be drizzled around the plates). Serve with crusty bread for spectacular results (and my everlasting admiration!).


Graham GRAHAM'S HOT TIP:
This stunning starter can be assembled ahead, then topped with dressed leaves just before serving. Also, if you have the time and the inclination, you can prepare your own Smoked Salmon
 
GRAHAM'S WINE RECOMMENDATION: GrahamI have no idea what wine Terry and Julie served us, but it certainly complimented this recipe. The white wines to look out for when choosing one to go with smoked salmon would be dry and acidic, as they would bring a refreshing taste to the table (every pun intended) and make the rich salmon seem leaner. For example, Muscadet de Sèvre et Maine (France), a dry Riesling (from Alsace or Germany) or a really dry Chablis (France).

Whatever you do, don't go for fruity wines, sweet wines or oaky/woody wines because wines with too many tannins make fish taste unpleasantly metallic.

This is just brilliant! Looks professional, tastes divine and everyone things you're a genius. For those of you who don't like smoked salmon, substitute it for avocado or leave it out all together. Winner!! 100%

Served this as a starter for a dinner party and got lots of lovely comments! Really good to be able to prepare everything before and then just assemble from fridge. A real winner! I fancy this for a main course .... that might soon happen!
