| method: |
First
make the ginger bouillon: Finely
chop the shallot, ginger and
white of the leek and sweat
in a little butter in a covered
pan for 3 - 4 minutes, until
soft but not coloured. The green
part of the leek is not used
and can be saved for stock.
Add the sweet wine and chicken
stock and simmer gently for
approximately 30 minutes to
extract all the flavours from
the leeks. Sieve and reduce
the bouillon to leave about
14 fl oz (500ml or two cups).
Horseradish potato: Peel and
boil the potatoes until cooked,
then drain. Mash them, drizzle
in the olive oil while beating.
Add cream if desired to make
it richer. Stir the horseradish
into the potato. Preheat the
grill. Cut the salmon trout
into 8 equal pieces. Brush the
salmon with the melted butter,
sprinkle with fennel seeds and
squeeze over a little lemon
juice. Grill the fish lightly
for two minutes on each side
until just cooked.
To assemble the dish, reheat
the bouillon and place the pak
choi in it for approximately
3 minutes to cook. Spoon the
potato into the middle of 4
high lipped plates or bowls.
Place the pak choi on top of
the mash and then the salmon
trout on top of this. Stir the
butter into the bouillon and
when it has melted add the tarragon
leaves. Spoon a little into
each plate. |
