ChillaxBBQ Stay@Home Recipes #34 – Smoked Salmon Soldiers

This was for Asian Mother’s Day brekkie 2020. Yes, it is #BillWallaceFriendly as made completely from what we had in the fridge, just add imagination. ChillaxBBQ Stay@Home Recipes #34 – Smoked Salmon Soldiers was borne from the fridge. I think they look stunning plated up and according to wifey AKA Mum they were bloody nice and wifey ate 2 whole slices of bread worth. Always a rather good sign.

For one Mum’s brekkie you will need;

• 2-3 slices of fresh smoked salmon
• 2 slices of bread – cut the crusts off
• A good knob of Ghee or salted butter
• Some thin slices of Avocado
• Half a fresh lemon – thinly sliced
• Sriracha Mayo
• 2 Cherry tomatoes thinly sliced
• Sea salt & cracked black pepper
• Thyme sprigs for garnish & a little flavour hit

Ready? Here we go, it’s as easy as 1, 2, 3…

1. Fry off the bread in a pan with the Ghee or salted butter until it is nice and browned and crispy;
2. Dab it with a kitchen towel to soak up any excess oil;
3. Cut the bread into equal-sized ‘soldiers – I got 4 per slice;
4. Get you hand torch out and flame the salmon to a char on one side – or a quick sizzle in the pan with the butter;
5. Get your serving platter out;
6. Lay some salmon down on each soldier;
7. Give a little dollop of Sriracha mayo on the end of the salmon (see the photo);
8. Lay a tomato slice on the other end;
9. Pop an avocado slice on top of the tomato;
10. Cut small lemon pieces away from the skin and pith and pop a little on the avocado;
11. Pop you Thyme sprig on top and squeeze a little lemon juice all over and a good sprinkle of sea salt & cracked black pepper;
12. Arrange nicely on your serving platter and wake up Mum.

Father of 3. All my kids are mixed, with English-Japanese, and English-Filipino - a recipe in the making there. I have been cooking since a small lad, as guided by my Nan and my Mum - gradually that morphed through exposure to Thai cooking from a lovely lady called Da in Margate. I used to hang out in her restaurant and watch the techniques. So the 1+1= greater than 2 occurred - Mum/Nan/Da - off I went in to the world of Asian cuisine. Moving to Asia in early 2000's clearly has brought that on somewhat - we travel continually, and eat locally and therefore have exposure to more and more new things. I have lived my dream and written a cook book whilst here, an amazing experience and all for a good cause too as I raised a lot of money for charity. My blog is now hopefully turning in to book number 2. Watch this space. I hope you enjoy my passion.
