A gin Tonic is not only nice to drink, you can also make a nice marinade with it. And then we do this salmon marinated in gin and tonic. A beautiful colorful dish for the Christmas menu. The preserving jar with sweet and sour vegetables will certainly be a bit too much for 4 people. But you can also keep it in the refrigerator for a while. So you can definitely use some of those vegetables again in the days that follow. This dish is a bit reminiscent of sashimi with the nori sheet surrounding the salmon for extra flavor. marinated salmon
Gin tonic marinated salmon
Of course I don't have to explain to you that you have to go for quality here. A nice piece of salmon is needed to make this a top dish. Order in good time at your fishmonger, or go to the wholesaler. Here you will also be able to buy various types of fresh herbs to brighten up your plate. This is how you really make a chef-worthy recipe.
If you're not a fan of dill, you could use chervil or just parsley. It is important to add some green to the plate for a nice color.
Dill can sometimes have a strong flavor, so opting for other herbs can be a pleasant variation. Feel free to experiment and discover which flavors suit your dish best.
