Crème fraiche, dill & caper dressing for hot smoked salmon

Morning prep for hot smoked salt & sugar cured salmon side

... and as per usual, it’s what’s beside the protein that makes the difference

Making the crème fraiche, dill & caper dressing

• finely diced cucumber
• finely diced capers
• finely diced red onion
• chopped dill
• a little lemon zest
• a little mustard
• a little sugar
• crème fraiche

You can see the ratio / amounts in the photo but you can play with ratios to your personal preference but .... don’t be shy with the dill! And then you have the perfect sauce to go with your hot smoked salmon

I've been making this recipe for about 5 years now, originally as an accompaniment to poached salmon, but since discovering the delicate taste and moist texture, I've been using this with my hot oak smoked salmon side. If you want, you can try adding a touch of smoked paprika to complement the smokiness of the salmon ... but it doesn't need it in my humble opinion. It's perfectly bright & light on it's own!
