Ingredients
Method
Firstly, drop the beetroot into a pan of boiling water and cook through.
Blitzing up the red beetroot, I will then layer it on top of the fresh and smoked salmon and leave to infuse and let the colour soak in overnight.
I will then hot smoke the fresh salmon and slice the cold smoked salmon ready for plating.
For the dressing, purée some of the golden beetroot with the white wine, bloo orange juice and some of the zest, in a mixing bowl slowly drizzle the oil until all incorporated.
Dressing the mixed leaves, neatly present into a plate or slate, layer the cold smoked salmon beside and the hot smoked on top, garnish with the remaining diced golden beetroot and pea shoots.
