Ingredients
- 1 head garlic
- 250 g (1 cup) natural yoghurt
- 100 ml full-cream milk
- Pinch of white pepper
- 500 g hot-smoked salmon
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ telegraph cucumber, halved lengthways, thinly sliced
- ½ bunch radishes, thinly sliced into cold water
- 1 Granny Smith apple, cored, thinly sliced into acidulated water
- 150 g watercress or mâche
- ½ lemon
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200ºC. Place the garlic on a baking tray and cook for 20–25 minutes, until the edges start to turn dark brown. Squeeze the garlic flesh into a bowl and mash with a fork. Add the yoghurt, milk and white pepper and mash together, making sure the garlic is evenly combined. Season, to taste.
Flake the salmon into a separate bowl and gently combine with the onion, cucumber, drained radish and apple slices and the watercress or mâche. Transfer to a serving platter and drizzle with the yoghurt sauce. Squeeze over the lemon and serve.
Any leftover yoghurt sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to one week.
