A Short Story

Fish salads have a long tradition in gastronomy, appreciated for their versatility and nutritional value. This recipe is a combination of simple yet refined ingredients that complement each other perfectly, offering both freshness and flavor. The smoked fish adds a depth of flavor, while the fresh vegetables and creamy dressing provide a balanced texture and pleasant contrast.

Ingredients

- 3-4 pieces of smoked fish (e.g. salmon or trout)
- 200-250 g white cabbage
- 3-4 sour cucumbers
- 1 red onion
- 1 bunch fresh dill
- 2-3 oranges
- 150 g Parmesan cheese
- 100 g cooked canned corn
- Salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste

Dressing

- 2 tbsp mayonnaise or light yogurt
- 2 tablespoons grainy French mustard
- Juice of 1 lemon and 1 orange
- 1 sachet Knorr Tzatziki

Step by Step

1. Preparing the ingredients
- Start by slicing the white cabbage into thin (thinly sliced) strips and place in a large bowl. The cabbage brings a crunchy texture and slightly sweet flavor.
- Cut the red onion into thin slices (julienne) and add over the cabbage. The red onion adds a contrast of color and a hint of sweetness, perfect to balance the taste of the smoked fish.
- Dice the sour cucumber and add to the bowl. They will add acidity and a fresh touch to the salad.

2. Adding the fish and oranges
- Uncover the smoked fish and dice. Be sure to remove the bones if necessary. The smoked fish will bring an intense and rich flavor, perfect for this salad.
- Peel and dice the oranges. The oranges will add a hint of sweetness and a citrus note that will balance the intense flavors of the fish and vegetables.

3. Seasoning your salad
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Remember that smoked fish is already salty, so use salt sparingly.
- Sprinkle a little nutmeg, which will add a warm and slightly spicy flavor, bringing out the other ingredients.

4. Making the dressing
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise (or yogurt), mustard, lemon juice and orange juice. Mix well until smooth.
- Add the sachet of Knorr Tzatziki, which will add a fresh touch and delicious taste to the dressing.

5. Finalizing the salad
- Pour the dressing over the vegetable and fish mixture. Mix gently, taking care not to crush the ingredients.
- Finally, add the cooked canned corn and toss again.

6. Serving
- Sprrinkle the Parmesan over the salad for a savory finish.
- For a really special touch, garnish with seaweed or a tomato rose. These details are sure to impress anyone at the table!
