The Rock Rose Gin Marinated Salmon is a light, elegant dish that makes a perfect festive starter.
Fresh salmon is delicately cured in lime juice and infused with Rock Rose Gin, allowing the botanicals to enhance the natural flavour of the fish. Finished with crisp fennel and seasonal leaves, it’s a simple yet sophisticated dish that’s as refreshing as it is impressive — ideal for Christmas entertaining or a special dinner party.
Make sure your salmon is very fresh for the best result.
