Recipe 🍳
- Chop the onion finely and slice the green onion into small pieces.
- Wrap the capers in kitchen paper and squeeze out all moisture, then chop them lightly.
- In a bowl, whip the cream until it holds its shape and doesn’t run when the whisk is inverted.
- Add 3 tablespoons of horseradish sauce, 3 tablespoons of sour cream, chopped onion, green onion, and capers to the whipped cream.
- Gently fold the mixture up and down using a spatula to maintain the cream’s volume and create the cloud-like sauce.
- Slice the cucumber thinly and wash the watercress thoroughly.
- On a plate, mound the finished cloud sauce like a fluffy cloud.
- Place the smoked salmon on top of the sauce and arrange the cucumber and watercress around it harmoniously.
- Finally, grind whole peppercorns over the dish and grate lime zest on top to finish.
- Chop onion, green onion, and dried capers finely.
- Gently mix the whipped cream with horseradish sauce, sour cream, and chopped ingredients to make the sauce.
- Mound the sauce on the plate like a cloud and place salmon, cucumber, and watercress on top.
- Sprinkle with pepper and lime zest to finish.
Cooking tips 💡
- The cream must be whipped completely firm to maintain the cloud-like shape; avoid stirring too vigorously when mixing ingredients.
- For the best balance, place a generous amount of cloud sauce on one piece of salmon and pair it with vegetables for a single, perfect bite.
