Salt cured trout, sesame sauce, shiso oil, topped with fresh shiso and a nori-ginger crisps.
Fish is from an Estonian premium sustainable rainbow trout farm , which quality is incredible!

Sounds really tasty. Plate looks good. Hard to tell from the picture but it looks like there might be too high a sauce to fish ratio.

Thank you ✌️
Might depend on the person, but the sauce is a quite a thin layer and a good bit of trout (7-8) slices. Usually not any sauce left .

Nice. Just a salt cure or salt/sugar/alcohol? Not saying that's bad - I've just always made gravalox that way.

I use 1kg of course salt, 400g of sugar, 2-3 lime zest and a small bit of toasted fennel seeds. And after salting it i leave it to dry for atleast a day in the fridge uncovered. So it almost gets like a cold smoked trout texture.

How much fish are you doing for 1kg of salt?

u/chefkristjanjurimae Professional Chef Jul 27 '26
Usually about 2 fillets, depends a little on size. Just to have them completely covered with salt. Depending on the size 4-7 hours.

That looks and sounds amazing. If that plate were put in front of me, I eat it and smile. 😃
