This dish is the classical West View dish. Since I have been associated with the restaurant for more than a decade now, this dish has been very close to my heart and also a personal favourite. It is also one of the most preferred dishes amongst our guests. Apart from the unique flavour of the fish, it is also famous for being the chef's specialty! This recipe serves one.

Grilled Norwegian salmon with caper butter, citrus mash and asparagus spears

Ingredients

180 gm Norwegian salmon steak

80 gm potatoes

60 gm asparagus

3 cherry tomatoes 5 capers 2 olives

4 basil leaves

Salt to taste

3 gm pepper powder

100 ml fish stock

20 gm unsalted butter

20 ml refined oil

10 gm parsley

1 sun kissed orange

1 lemon

Method

Peel and boil the washed potatoes. Mash the potatoes and add zest of the orange and lemon and keep aside. Chop the olives, capers and basil leaves and cut the cherry tomatoes into halves.

Marinate the salmon with salt and pepper and put to grill. Season and finish off the reduced fish stock with the chopped olives, capers, basil, cherry tomatoes and butter.

Put on a main course plate with citrus mash, followed by the salmon, the asparagus spears and finally the sauce.
