Method

How to make Hot-smoked salmon and chipotle crema

1) Soak the wood chips in a large bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, make the spice rub. In small pan over medium heat, toast the whole spices until aromatic, about 1 minute. Cool and grind in a spice mill or clean coffee grinder. Add the salt.

2) Rub the salmon thoroughly with 3/4 tsp of the rub and leave to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. (Save extra spice rub in a sealed container for up to 3 months.)

3) To make the chipotle crema, stir all the creme fraiche, coriander leaves, chillies, lime juice and salt together to make a smooth sauce. Cover and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

4) Drain the chips and scatter them in the bottom of the stovetop smoker. Heat the chips over medium-low heat until smoky, about 10 minutes.

5) Place the salmon, skin side down on a rack in the smoker and cook, covered until just cooked through, about 15 minutes. Set aside on the rack to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate if not serving right away.

6) Technique: Slicing Cutting a larger piece of food into even pieces or strips. I know this Teach me, please Slice or flake the salmon into even portions and arrange on a serving dish with black bread, lemon wedges and the chipotle crema.
