Smoked Salmon on Toasted Ciabatta with Horseraddish, Lemon and Cracked Pepper Creme Fraiche
Posted on in European, Fish & Seafood, RecipesReally couldn’t be bothered to cook much tonight but this was a quick fix that’s good for a light lunch or a teatime treat! I say to everyone I’m not a food snob but when it comes to smoked salmon I’d urge you to spend a couple of quid more so you don’t end up with the slimy rubbish that’s never been close to a smoker.
Smoked Salmon
3tbs Full Fat Creme Fraiche
1 Ciabatta Loaf
1 Lemon
Fresh Cress
1 Inch of Fresh Horseradish (or 1 tsp creamed horseraddish sauce)
Cracked Black Pepper
Salt
1. In a bowl combine the horseradish, creme fraiche and a squeeze of lemon. Add a pinch of salt and a couple of grinds of black pepper.
2. Slice your Ciabatta and lightly drizzle with a little olive oil. Meanwhile heat your griddle pan until just smoking and griddle both sides until you get a nice light char.
3. Top the toasted Ciabatta with the salmon and drizzle over the creme fraiche. Twist over a little black pepper, a couple of drops of lemon juice and then top with the cress.
Enjoy!

Yum! You are of course right about the smoked salmon… Totally delicious to splash out when my budget can allow it.
