1 each Diakon, peeled and sliced the same way
2 oz. Peanuts, toasted and roughly chopped
16 sprigs Cilantro
Brush the salmon paillards with a bit of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over a hot flame on one side only until rare then transfer to a baking pan with the cooked side up. Brush liberally with the tamarind glaze then place under the broiler and cook until the glaze bubbles.
Toss the cucumber and diakon together in a bit of the rice wine vinaigrette and place in the centers of each plate. Sprinkle with the toasted peanuts. Place one piece of salmon over the cucumber salad and garnish with cilantro sprigs. Finish the plate by cutting each smoked salmon roll into three pieces and arranging them at the top of the plate. Drizzle the rolls lightly with ginger vinaigrette. [Previous Recipe][Next
