    I had some time during my break and experimented with an end of summer starter. Would love to get some feedback on anything that strikes you and a couple of questions.

    Main ingredient is salmon. For the final dish, I would use a larger piece and cut three even Sashimi like pieces (didn’t want to use a good piece on R&D).

    The roll is pickled cucumber slices wrapped around curd with fresh herbs and some olive oil. Next time, I would layer the cucumber so that the skin was visible.

    The “circle” is just raw cucumber and trout roe.

    The vinaigrette is very basic and deliberately not emulsified.

    What I am considering:

    – Instead of using herbs in the curd, I am thinking about smoking the curd (which would give the dish another layer and a nod to the upcoming fall)

    – While I like the crunchiness of the cucumber, I thought about adding some small pieces of roasted hazelnuts on the cucumber; alternatively, I thought about a pea sprout
