Recipe: Smoked salmon in Guinness
Ingredients
4 salmon steaks
1 lime
1 lemon
30g white powdered sugar
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
50ml Guinness
60g coarse salt
1 bunch fresh coriander, coarsely chopped
1 carrot
1 bunch fresh dill, coarsely chopped
Preparation
Toast the coriander seeds in a frying pan.
Place the seeds in a blender. Add lemon zest and juice, salt and sugar. Blend coarsely.
Place your salmon steaks in a dish.
Rub the fish on all sides with this mixture.
Pour the Guinness over the top, and add the coarsely chopped coriander and dill.
Leave the salmon to soak for 36 to 48 hours, turning it over every 2 hours to cook and smoke it naturally.
Once the 48 hours are up, remove the salmon from its marinade and rinse lightly.
All that’s left to do is slice it into thin strips.
You can serve this Guinness smoked salmon with vegetables or on Guinness bread with a little butter.
